Flexera Agent/Becon Update

[Lvenkatesh]

Looking for the best practice for the update of the Flexera.

1. Should we need to keep the Agent and beacon to be same version for the good performance? 
2. Should we need to update the beacon first or agent?  or it doesn't matter which update first?

At this point both beacon and agent are forwards and backwards compatible, meaning you can have older agents reporting to newer beacons or newer agents reporting to older beacons. In my experience it is quicker and simpler to upgrade the beacons to the latest version and then execute agent upgrades using your agent management process (adoption vs third-party installations).
