*Pre-Upgrade Considerations*

   - All BigFix Platform components are being released in this patch.
   - Ensure to STOP the WebUI and any other active application connecting
   to the BigFix database BEFORE starting the upgrade.
   - The unixODBC RPM package is a prerequisite for the Server components
   on Linux systems (see Server Requirements info
   <https://help.hcltechsw.com/bigfix/9.5/platform/Platform/Installation/c_bigfix_server.html>).
   This applies to version 9.5 Patch 17 and later.

   earlier than 9.5.5. Refer to BigFix 9.5.5 Release Notes
