When new versions or important updates of XenMobile are available, they are published to Citrix.com and a notice is sent to the contact on record for each customer.
You have these options for upgrading XenMobile:
- To upgrade from XenMobile 9.0 to XenMobile 10.4.
Use the XenMobile Upgrade Tool that is built in to XenMobile 10.4. See the articles in this section for details.
The Upgrade Tool supports all XenMobile 9 editions: MDM, App, and Enterprise.
For fixed and known issues, see Fixed issues and Known issues.
Note that the older Upgrade Tool is no longer available from Citrix.com.
- To upgrade from XenMobile 10.3.x to XenMobile 10.4.
Use the Release Management page in the XenMobile console. See the instructions in this article for details.
You do not use the Upgrade Tool for XenMobile 10.3.x installations.
- To upgrade from XenMobile 10 or XenMobile 10.1 to XenMobile 10.4.
First, use the Release Management page in the XenMobile console to upgrade from XenMobile 10 or XenMobile 10.1 to XenMobile 10.3. Then, use the Release Management page in the XenMobile console to upgrade from XenMobile 10.3 to XenMobile 10.4. See the instructions in this article for details. You do not use the Upgrade Tool for these installations.
