Upgrade to Zimbra NE 7.x : anything required on client side?

[swix]

Hello,

We plan to upgrade our 6.x setup to the latest 7.x this month, and there is just a short question with no answer (afaik) in the release notes: is anything necessary and mandatory on client side when switching from 6.x to 7.x ? (connector upgrade, zimbra desktop upgrade, etc.), or will it just continue to work fine ?

I presume it is the case, but asking and make sure _before_ the upgrade will not hurt :-)

Thanks & regards!

I can't say for the Zimbra Desktop, since we don't use it, but everything else should just work.

Something to keep in mind for the Outlook connector though, 7.12 requires a Zimbra 7.12 mail server, it's not backwards compatible.

Cool, thanks for your answer Doug, I feel better now :-)

Regards & nice week-end to you!

Just to let you know, upgrade went very smoothly and there were no problem at all (at least until now), even if there was a strange message about the license file during the upgrade:

[...]

ZCS upgrade from 6.0.13 to 7.1.2 will be performed.

*******ERROR

But everything looks good now, I'll check again in a few days...
