Compatibility Matrix for Various Versions of View Components
Because large enterprises must often perform phased upgrades, components are designed to be somewhat
forward and backward compatible, at least during upgrades.
The following earlier versions of View components are supported for upgrading to Horizon 7:
n
Latest maintenance release of Horizon View 5.3
n
Latest maintenance release of VMware Horizon 6.0 (with View)
n
Latest maintenance release of VMware Horizon 6 version 6.1
n
Latest maintenance release of VMware Horizon 6 version 6.2
To determine the latest maintenance release of a particular component, see the Release Notes for that
release, available from https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html
View Connection Server compatibility with Horizon Agents is limited to interoperability during a View
Connection Server upgrade. You must upgrade View Agents or Horizon Agents as soon as possible to
match the version of the View Connection Server that manages them.
The following table lists the components and show whether they are compatible with other components
whose version is different.
