VMware DEM – Upgrade Agent to v. 2103

Release date: April 10th 2021

Welcome to my VMware Dynamic Environment Manager series. In this session I will describe how I upgraded the VMware DEM Agent to v. 2103.

First, I power up the template and open Remote Console. I verify the the installed version before I start the upgrade.

I copy the VMware-DEM-xxxx-GA.zip file I downloaded from MyVmware to a temp-folder inside the template. I start the upgrade by clicking the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise 2103 10.2 x64.msi file

When the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Setup Wizard launches, Next…

I accept the license terms, Next…

I confirm the destination folder, Next…

Select the VMware DEM FlexEngine feature, Next…

As this will be used in VMware Horizon, no license file needed, Next…

Upgrade…

Once the installer finishes, click Finish…

Finally, I verify the newly installed version in Control Panel

This concludes my session about upgrading the DEM Agent to v. 2103. As there aren’t any updates to the Application Profiler in this release, there is no need to update this component, otherwise this would have been the natural final step in the DEM upgrade.
