I would recommend setting the feature release level to FR2 for all servers and then install all the updates you want on all the servers. When all servers have the same level of FR3 and patches installed, then set the feature release level on all servers to FR3. We have done this successfully in the past and it avoids and any potential issues that might stem from mixing FR2 and Fr3. The licenses for FR3 do support running FR2 simply by setting the Feature Release level in the CMC. Regards, Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Due to the sensitivity of the users to downtime, we would like to roll out the patches on a phased basis across all the server silos over a week or so. Are there any issues to be aware of with running a mix of FR2 and FR3 servers on a temporary basis? Seems to work fine on our test system :) Also, we have already got the FR3 connection license numbers through our subscription advantage. If we use the Citrix multiple license update facility to upgrade all our connection licenses to FR3 before starting to patch, will there be any license issues with the servers still running FR2, i.e. will FR2 servers use FR3 connection licenses?
