If you already have a Workflow Server running on a Symantec Management Platform computer, installing Workflow does not upgrade Workflow Server. Upgrading Workflow Server would break running processes. Instead, the Workflow installation adds a message in the Symantec Management Console that the Workflow Server should be upgraded manually.
Symantec recommends that you schedule a service stop, upgrade Workflow Server, test the published processes, and then resume the service.
