Access Server: Update your current version to the newest available (Video)

Description: How to update Access Server to the latest version.

How to upgrade to your current Access Server version

1. Connect to your server with root privileges.
2. Run this command to unpin the openvpn-as package:
   

   apt-mark unhold openvpn-as

3. Run the update commands for your Linux OS. These commands update packages within the version of your operating system as well as Access Server.
   
   • Ubuntu and Debian:
     

     apt-get update
     apt-get upgrade

   • RHEL and CentOS:
     

     yum check-update
     yum update

4. After the updates complete, reboot your server.
   

   reboot

5. Check that Access Server updated to the newest version in the Admin Web UI.
6. You can now repin the openvpn-as package. (This is optional and keeps Access Server from updating when you install operating system updates.)
   

   apt-mark hold openvpn-as

Refer to Keeping OpenVPN Access Server updated for updating more complicated use cases and details about the process.
