Jamf Connect Updates

You may install updates using the Jamf Connect DMG or automatically via Jamf Pro. If you installed the launch agent PKG or set the AutoOpenAppAtLogin menu bar app preference key to true, upon update Jamf Connect automatically quits and relaunches as the updated version. This ensures that older versions do not run concurrently.

When a new version of Jamf Connect becomes available, Jamf Pro can automatically update computers in the scope of your configuration profiles using the chosen Update Type setting.

Note: Unless a new version of Jamf Connect introduces new settings that you want to configure, you do not need to update your Jamf Connect configuration profiles

The following update types can be configured in Jamf Pro by navigating to Settings > Jamf Applications > Jamf Connect:

  • Manual—

    Only deploy the chosen version to computers in scope and do not automatically deploy future updates.

  • Maintenance—Automatically deploy maintenance (e.g., 1.0.1) updates to computers in scope.
  • Minor & Maintenance—Automatically deploy minor and maintenance (e.g., 1.1.0 and 1.0.1) updates to computers in scope.
Example:

Deploy the latest version of Jamf Connect and automatically deploy future updates.
