Qube versioning is indicated by major, minor, and point releases in the format major.minor.point (e.g. 5.5.0).
If you plan to upgrade the major or minor version of Qube, you will have the best results if you upgrade all of your systems to the latest version. While it is possible to run a mix of older versions of Qube, there are number of feature enhancements that are not strictly backwards compatible with previous versions. Point releases (5.4.x) are forwards and backwards compatible with other point releases of that minor (ie. All 5.4) unless noted otherwise.
Due to the number of possible combinations and possibilities for unexpected problems, we cannot support mixed major release environments (4.X with 5.X, etc). Mixing minor releases can sometimes be done, but is not encouraged.Note:
