Before you upgrade VMware Horizon, you must uninstall features that are no longer supported or deprecated in the latest version of VMware Horizon.
If you upgrade to VMware Horizon 8 2012 or later, you must uninstall the following features that are available in earlier releases of VMware Horizon 7.x:
| No Longer Supported or Deprecated Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Security Server (no longer supported) | If you have security servers and want to upgrade to VMware Horizon 8 2012 or later, you must deploy a replacement Unified Access Gateway appliance and then uninstall the security servers before upgrading Connection Server.
Note: After an upgrade to
VMware Horizon 8 2012 or later if you don't remove the security server and try to connect to
Horizon Client using the security server, you get an HTTP error.
See Replacing a Security Server with a Unified Access Gateway Appliance. |
| JMP Server (no longer supported) | If you have a JMP Server installed, and want to upgrade to VMware Horizon 8 2012 or later, you must uninstall the JMP server. See Uninstall JMP Server.
Note: Previously created JMP desktop assignments still appear in
Horizon Console and can be modified or deleted. Previously created
App Volumes assignments created from JMP assignments still appear in the
App Volumes console and can be modified or deleted. The
Dynamic Environment Manager setting assignment created from the JMP assignment if the
Dynamic Environment Manager share isn't removed during JMP uninstallation, appears in the read only mode in the
Dynamic Environment Manager console and you cannot modify or delete this assignment.
