Feature request - Update of the Veeam Console download via the VSA/VBR login page

Post by petesteven » 7 people like this post

When downloading the Windows Console for Veeam V13 via the VSA/VBR on the login page, the console downloaded is not the current version for the installed VSA/VBR, it is an older version.
This means that the console must first be updated when logging in for the first time after installation.
Feature request: provide the current versions for download via the VSA/VBR on the login page.

PS: Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of the updater because I clicked too quickly. But hopefully the other one will suffice.

Agreed here when a patch is applied the download for the console should be repackaged to provide the latest one rather than GA and then update on connection. +1

+1 from me as well.
A lot of our customers are frustrated that they can't direct download an up2date client.

also: even if all functionalities will be moved on the web ui and console no more updated, it would be very very useful to have different console versions in the same desktop. consider we have many vbr servers and of course we cannot patch/upgrade all at the same time (many times upgrade was deferred since a support case was opened in one of these VBRs), and we need different consoles. even more so, if we would have all VSAs we would need also many desktops with different console versions, would not?

Hello,
while the request is understandable and valid, the more likely solution will be that we enhance the Web UI so that the Windows console won't be needed anymore.

Best regards
Hannes
