There shouldn't be any particular problems. upgrading from 13.2 to 14.2 is carried out in a regular way, it does not matter if it is a slave or the main server.

1. Download the new version

2. Make a backup

3. Install the new version (on top of the old one, you don’t need to delete anything)

to switch roles .. just break the chain of command.

do not forget to check that you still have all the necessary policies and tasks to work with.

note that devices from the server that you want to delete must be migrated to connect to a new server, otherwise you will lose control

Hello @ElvinE5

Thanks for your reply.

Should I install / upgrade KSC Slave 13.2 to KSC 14.2 then just erase and disconnect the old Master KSC 13.2?

I didn't understand "to switch roles .. just break the chain of command. note that devices from the server that you want to delete must be migrated to connect to a new server, otherwise you will lose control"?

All devices on Slave KSC server 13.2.

You can update KSC at any time when it is convenient for you (before the old server is disconnected or after)

what is important is that you perform the "migration" procedure of the devices connected to the server that you plan to disconnect to the new one, this task must be run on the old server.

specify your settings and the address of the new server, make sure that all devices have "moved" to the new server and after that the old server can be turned off.
