solution that offers a more user-friendly and feature-rich experience than ever before.
This upgrade comes with a redesigned UX, user analytics functions, and a full integration with our
most powerful products, VirtualUI, zScope, and VNC.
As a seasoned Thinfinity® Workspace administrator, you are probably familiar with the benefits of
our solution. Now it's time to explore the new possibilities that Thinfinity® Workspace 7 has to offer.
In this guide, we will walk you through the upgrade process step by step, so you can enjoy an
improved experience.
2. Key Factors to Consider Before Upgrading
Profiles and user configurations
Thinfinity products are designed to save previous profiles and user configurations during the
uninstallation process. This means that if you have any profiles or configurations set up in a
previous version of Thinfinity Workspace, it is safe to uninstall it. The saved profiles and
configurations are stored in the Program Files and Program Data folders of the server and
are compatible with each new version of Workspace that is released.
Customization
Web Aliases are a powerful feature that allows you to customize the logo and web styling of
your RDP login page without altering the original files. This is particularly useful when
updating to a new version of Thinfinity® Workspace. Without Web Aliases, any
modifications you have made to the files would be lost when the default files are replaced
during the update process.
To maintain your customizations, please make sure to use Web Aliases so your landing page remains the same, even after updating to a new version of Thinfinity Workspace.

Licensing
If you are migrating from a version of Thinfinity Workspace from a prior version to 7 or from
another product, such as Thinfinity Remote Desktop, it's important to obtain a new license
suitable for Thinfinity® Workspace 7 before proceeding with the upgrade.
This will avoid any issues during the upgrade process. To obtain a new license, please get in touch with our team. Our experts will be able to guide you through the process to ensure a smooth transition.
