Question:

• Do I need to install Mobile Client Updater (MCU)?

Information:

The new, optional Mobile Client Updater (MCU) component saves time by automatically deploying the latest software releases of the Mobile Client and latest configuration packages to end user workstations en masse. In order to use the optional Mobile Client Updater (MCU) component to distribute product or configuration updates to end users, you must first install the MCU on end user workstations. Then you must select the host server to deploy updates to end user workstations.

Access the appropriate MCU installer (8e6winmcu.msi for Windows and 8e6osxmcu.pkg.tar for Macintosh OS X) and copy it to respective user workstations. Install the installer as you would any other program. No additional configuration is required for the MCU component.

Notes:

This is a one time operation; after this procedure the MCU will update itself when a new version is deployed.
