Title
Are the Defender 5.7 components compatible with the Defender 5.8.x components? -
Description
If the Defender Security Server is upgraded to version 5.8.x, will users still be able to authenticate through Desktop Login 5.7 clients? -
Resolution
Yes. The older 5.7 clients will still be able to communicate with the 5.8 server components.
We do recommend that all components be on the same version to ensure full compatibility, however, it is possible to use a mix of 5.7 and 5.8 components during the upgrade process.
If you experience any issues during your upgrade, please submit a Service Request to Support.
