I could not able to upgrade the component because the button remains grayed out for me.

Open the site through your Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, because the above link simply won’t work in Firefox. Rename your DRM folder to “DRMbackup”. So that it clears the DRM cache and allow the browser (Internet Explorer) to upgrade the Security Component.
