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 6 version 6.2:
n
Latest maintenance release of Horizon View 5.1, which is 5.1.3.
n
Horizon View 5.2.
n
Latest maintenance release of Horizon View 5.3, which is 5.3.4.
n
Latest maintenance release of VMware Horizon 6.0 (with View), which is 6.0.2.
n
VMware Horizon 6 verison 6.1.x, which includes 6.1.0 and 6.1.1.
NOTE View Composer is always released with major and minor releases, but View Composer is not always
released with maintenance releases. For example, there is a View Composer 6.0.1 but not a View Composer
6.0.2.
View Connection Server compatibility with View Agents is limited to interoperability during a View
Connection Server upgrade. You must upgrade View 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.
