Downgrading Carbon Black EDR Linux Sensors

This article describes scenarios and requirements for downgrading Carbon Black EDR Linux sensors.

The following scenarios are edge cases where a normal downgrade process will not work.

• Downgrades from 7.0.0-lnx to 6.x.x-lnx require a manual uninstall and reinstall due to extensive architectural changes in the 7.0.0 version.
• Downgrades from 7.1.0-lnx on systems running with kernel version greater than 4.x to any sensor version will need a manual cleanup of 7.1.0-lnx packages.
• Downgrades from 7.1.0-lnx on systems running with kernel version less than 4.x to any sensor version require a manual uninstall and reinstall due to extensive architectural changes on 7.1.0-lnx version.
