Install and update EZproxy
Find the tools and resources required for installing EZproxy and downloading updates.
When you are ready to install EZproxy, it is best to have your subscription confirmed and your license key, called a WSKey, ready to install. If you have any additional questions about the WSKey or installation process, please contact OCLC Support.
Note: If you obtained a WSKey when you updated to any V6.x, you must use the same WSKey to upgrade to any new release of EZproxy.
