Upgrade agents

Note:

Ensure that the agent version is 14.1-38.x or later.

Starting 14.1–43.50, you can upgrade NetScaler agents (14.1-38.x or later) through the NetScaler Console GUI. This enhancement eliminates the manual upgrade workflow for each agent and enables you to upgrade all agents in a single workflow or schedule upgrades for a later time.
