Both versions will stop working after reaching End of Life. We recommend you plan to upgrade to the latest available version of the currently supported 1.7.x as soon as possible.
How do I upgrade?
For the upgrade procedure, please refer toUpgrading Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access on Qlik's online help. This page also lists all the significant changes for each version.
The upgrade to 1.7.x from 1.4 or 1.5 has been thoroughly tested, and the process is expected to be smooth. However, please follow the steps carefully and always take a backup before upgrading. It is also worth noting that .NET 8.x is required (from v1.6.6) and will be automatically installed during the upgrade.
What else do I need to keep in mind?
Several configuration settings were added in later versions of the Direct Access gateway that may apply to your deployment. Therefore, please review all details in the online help onConfiguring and troubleshooting Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access. Note that most Direct Access gateway settings can be configured in the Qlik Cloud Administration activity center (from v1.7.2).
Always upgrade to the latest version!
