DESCRIPTION:
The support for syslog-ng Premium Edition 2.1 ends on December 31, 2009.
Updates, security fixes, and technical support of syslog-ng 2.1 will be
discontinued at this date. This announcement applies to syslog-ng PE
and the syslog-ng Agent for Windows alike.
You are recommended to upgrade to syslog-ng 3.0 before the support for
version 2.1 ends.
UPGRADING:
For details on upgrading to syslog-ng 3.0, see What is new in syslog-ng
Premium Edition 3.0 (available at
http://www.balabit.com/dl/guides/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-whatsnew-en.pdf),
especially the Upgrading and the Important changes sections.
In order to upgrade to syslog-ng Premium Edition 3.0, login to your
MyBalabit account at http://www.balabit.com/mybalabit/ and download the
new license file and the binary packages. After that, follow the
installation procedure described in Chapter 4, Installing syslog-ng
in The syslog-ng 3.0 Administrator Guide (available at
http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/).
The installer will automatically recognize earlier installations of
syslog-ng, and offer to re-use the syslog-ng configuration file and the
license. It will also display warnings about parameters and the
format of the configuration file that have changed since version 2.1.
For details on upgrading the syslog-ng Agent for Windows, see Section
5.1.1. Upgrading syslog-ng Agent for Windows 2.x to 3.0.x in
The syslog-ng 3.0 Administrator Guide.

software subscription. In case you do not see the new license
under your MyBalaBit account, please contact your local
distributor, or send an e-mail from the address used in your
MyBalaBit registration to Ms. Edit Tusjak at
