Re: [ADSM-L] Upgrading Linux server from 7.1.7.300 to 8.1.1

It is the download date.  When I check Passport, it says the release date
is "07 April 2017".  If this still won't work, I will go the uninstall
route, especially since at this point TSM wont run since it says TSM isn't
installed.  That means that the doc saying I can just go to Passport and
redownload a more-current version (until 8.1.2 comes out), is pretty
useless.
