Although newer versions of View Client and Horizon Client can work with View Connection Server 5.0.0,
the security enhancements and certificate checking that were introduced with View 5.1 are available only
with View Connection Server 5.0.1 and later releases.
CAUTION During an upgrade, View does not support View Composer provisioning and maintenance
operations. Operations such as provisioning and recomposing linked-clone desktops are not supported
during the transitional period when any View servers are still running the earlier version. You can
successfully perform these operations only when all instances of View Connection Server and View
Composer have been upgraded to the latest version.
