SEE Upgrade Question - Can Older Clients Talk to newer Backend SEEM?

    Hi guys, we are looking to upgrade from v7.0.6 to 7.0.8 to fix an issue with some new article we can;t use current clients on.

     

    Just reviewing the article below and want to check people's experience if as simple as article seems?

    did you guys hit any issues?  Also do I HAVE to upgrade all the other clients or can laptops with 7.0.6 out there still communicate with the servers that at 7.0.8?

     

    Thank You

    Unless you change the communications settings required by your Management Server, then older clients can continue talking to it with no issue at all.

    I currently have a few 7.0.5 clients talking to my 8.0.1 server.  Also, a handy indication is the ability to report on older client versions within the custom reports
