● A warning message is displayed when an older version of Wyse Device Agent or HAgent is installed on the device.
3. Click Yes.
4. In the Group token field, enter a group token. This is an optional field. To skip this step, click Next. You can enter the group
token details later in the Wyse Device Agent User Interface.
5. From the Region drop-down list, select the region of the Wyse Management Suite public cloud server.
After successful installation, the Wyse Management Suite public cloud server automatically registers the device to the Wyse

Installing or upgrading Wyse Device Agents on
ThinLinux and Linux clients
About this task
To upgrade Wyse Device Agent and platform utility packages on Linux and ThinLinux clients from Wyse Management Suite
server, do the following:
NOTE:
You can install or upgrade add-ons by using any of the following options:
● Wyse Device Manager
● Using INI parameters
● Add-ons Manager
● RPM commands
Steps
1. If you are using a public cloud or a remote repository on a private cloud, copy the RPM files to the thinClientApps folder
of the repository. By default, the latest Wyse Device Agents and platform utility RPMs for Linux and ThinLinux clients are
available in local repository.
2. Go to the Apps and Data page, and create two application policies—for platform utility add-on and Wyse Device Agent
add-on.
NOTE:
To upgrade these add-ons, use a normal policy. This is because the Advanced App policy function is supported
only for Wyse Device Agent version 2.0.11 and 2.0.24 onwards on Linux and ThinLinux clients.
3. Go to the Jobs page and schedule a job to upgrade the platform utility add-on.
You must wait until the platform utility add-on is successfully installed on your thin client.
NOTE:
Install a platform utility add-on first, and then install a Wyse Device Agent add-on. You cannot install the latest
Wyse Device Agents before installing the latest platform utility add-on.
4. On the Jobs page, schedule a job to upgrade Wyse Device Agent on the client.
NOTE: Linux client restarts after installing the Wyse Device Agent add-on version 2.0.11.
