License manager 10.4 compatible with older ArcGIS 10.2.2?

ServiceDesk3 — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 11:22:21 GMT

Hi there, we currently run ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2 with a license manager 10.2.2. We want to upgrade to version 10.4.1. As far as I have read, I first need to upgrade the license manager to version 10.4.

However, we have multiple computers running ArcGis 10.2.2. Is it possible to run ArcGIS 10.2.2 with the new license manager? (since I don't have time to upgrade all ArcGIS installations at once).

Thank you in advance.

Yes it should work. You might need to deauthorize/authorize the licences from the current LM.

Supported Software Products—License Manager Guide | ArcGIS for Desktop shows it will support back to 9.x.

I would also look at this page for additional guidance

Thnx. With Rebecca's comment, it looks like I can do an inplace upgrade without deauthorizing.
