Enterprise Console 5.2.1 Upgrade Experience

drose23

We currently are on 5.2.0.644 of the Enterprise Console, and use fixed versions for a few areas.  Reading over the documentation, the fixed version support is being retired when one moves to 5.2.1 or later. 

I'm curious what that experience will be like - will I have the opportunity to modify each of the subscriptions I have, or will they be set to a default value (i.e. recommended)?  Some of our environment is a bit more sensitive, so I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into prior. 

I'm going to be setting up a test console for this very reason, so that I can understand the behavior.  Just looking to see if anyone has gone through it, and what their experience has been like.

    Thank you for the detailed and helpful reply QC.  To verify, the message linked here:

    Will only open when a subscription with a fixed version is opened through the Update Manager section in the Enterprise Console, yes?  I just want to make sure this won't open for other activities within the SEC, such that Help Desk staff may be nagged by.

    I had previously read over the software subscription link:

    And am particularly interested in the Extended editions.  The 36 month reference I'd assume for major versions (i.e. 10.x), but I thought minor versions (i.e. 10.2.8 VDL 4.9.1) are still retired within 90 days, give or take.  After the versions are retired, updates are no longer provided, so I'd guess the minor versions are still changing behind the scenes at the same pace.
