NAV 2013 R2 - Windows Client Upward Compatibility?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I´ve tried to finde out how ofthen i have to update the NAV 2013 R2 windows client without any success. Maybe the community is able to answer this questions:

- Is a windows client update needed every time i install a Hotfix or Update Rollup at the server? We know CRM already an there is no need to update the client every time because the gurantee upward compatibility. Is it the same with the NAV Windows Client?

 

Ty.

    Hi,

    You can use ClickOnce:

    1. New way of streamlined and centralized deployment of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client.
    2. Cost effectiveness, imaging time consumed to install or update application for more than 100 workstations across many regions.
    3. Zero end-user configurations, auto detects and updates the client without the user having to do anything.
    4. Not requiring administrative permissions to install.
    5. Co-deploying any partner created additional add-in assemblies.
    6. Side-by-side installations make it easy to run ClickOnce against different servers from the same computer.
    7. Quickly access to systems of customers for support, using windows search by CustomerID.

    Please refer to my post community.dynamics.com/.../clickonce-mass-windows-client-installation-and-auto-update.aspx

    Hi,

    It is depend upon the Roll up but it is advisable to update the client with the server. there is no automatic upward compatibility option in NAV.

    We have to replace/Update windows client files, if there are any changes in rollup in all client machines..
