Description
The upgrade steps for Jamf Connect will depend on what versions of Jamf Connect your organization is using and if you have migrated from Jamf Connect menu bar 2.x to the identity management capabilities within Self Service+ 2.x.
First let's clarify what is different between the different installers and versions:
Jamf Connect Versions | Installer Contents |
Jamf Connect 2.0-2.45.1 | The Jamf Connect installer for these versions includes the installer for Jamf Connect login and Jamf Connect menu bar. |
Future releases of Jamf Connect 2.45.x | OS compatibility and security fixes are expected to be released for those continuing to use the Jamf Connect 2.x menu bar. |
Jamf Connect 3.0 and later | The Jamf Connect installer only includes the installer for Jamf Connect login. If installed the Jamf Connect menu bar will not change at all. |
Self Service+ 2.0 or later | This installer contains the Self Service+ application and the Self Service+ menu bar (similar to the Jamf Connect menu bar). |
