Hi!

The next days we would like to upgrade from MC 14.4.1 to 15.2.

We are running some Android devices with MC Agent version 13.7.x.

After upgrading: What will happen to these devices? Are they still manageable or are they forced to install a higher version of MC agent?

Does anybody know?

Thank you!

Hi Simon,

Thanks for posting your query!

Android devices with MobiControl Agent version 13.7.x will work on MobiControl v15.2, however, you would be given an option to upgrade the agent to utilize the new features available.

If you have many many devices of different brands and models, especially the relatively old models or smaller brands,  the safest is to get one device of each brand/model to perform test on a UAT platform.  In addition, devices running relatively old firmware should also be tested with new device agent for stability and compatibility before any attempt to deploy large scale device agent upgrade on production devices.

Thanks for your answers!

So, after upgrade the agent version 13.7.x is still compatible and the devices are not forced to upgrade the agent? The devices remain manageable?

Hi Simon,

Yes, the devices on agent version 13.7.x are still compatible and manageable from the latest version of MobiControl.
