Upgrading CloudLink
You can upgrade to CloudLink 4.1.4 to obtain the benefits of the latest version.
Note:
Do not directly upgrade to CloudLink version 4.1.4 from versions earlier than 4.1.2. Doing so will lead to unintended consequences. Upgrade the older version to version 4.1.2 and then, you can upgrade from version 4.1.2 to version 4.1.4.
The format for the configuration file (.sdf) has changed internally. During an upgrade to CloudLink version 4.1.1, the existing configuration file will be upgraded to the new format as long as CloudLink version 4.1.1 is installed in the same location as the previous install. Replacing a configuration file with another from an older version of CloudLink is not supported.
Note the following before you proceed:
In this release, support for synchronizing the delegation permissions, additional SMTP aliases, and the cloud archive status has been added.
In CloudLink version 4.1.1, the support for installation of the CloudLink application on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and Microsoft Windows Server 2019 has been added.
In CloudLink version 4.1.0, the external dependency of SQL Compact Edition 3.5 has been eliminated.
If you currently use CloudLink version 4.0, 4.0.1, or 4.0.2, upgrade to 4.0.3 first.
If you currently use the CloudLink version 4.0 original release or earlier we recommend that you upgrade to obtain the benefits of the recent releases.
If you currently use CloudLink 3.4.0 or earlier, you must upgrade to CloudLink 3.4.1 before you can upgrade to 4.0.3. You can download CloudLink 3.4.1 from the following article on the Veritas Support website:
To upgrade an existing installation of CloudLink, follow the appropriate procedure:
