Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) lets you configure a connection group to use any version of a package, which simplifies package upgrades and reduces the number of connection groups you need to create.
Application Virtualization (App-V) lets you configure a connection group to use any version of a package, which simplifies package upgrades and reduces the number of connection groups you need to create.
To upgrade a package in some earlier versions of App-V, you had to perform several steps, including disabling the connection group and modifying the connection group’s XML definition file.
You can configure a connection group to accept any version of a package, which enables you to upgrade the package without having to disable the connection group:

- If the connection group has access to multiple versions of a package, the latest version is used.
 
- If the connection group contains an optional package that has an incorrect version, the package is ignored and won’t block the connection group’s virtual environment from being created.
- If the connection group contains a non-optional package that has an incorrect version, the connection group’s virtual environment cannot be created.
## To make a connection group ignore the package version by using the App-V Server Management Console
1. In the Management Console, select **CONNECTION GROUPS**.
2. Select the correct connection group from the Connection Groups library.
3. Click **EDIT** in the CONNECTED PACKAGES pane.
4. Select **Use Any Version** check box next to the package name, and click **Apply**.
For more about adding or upgrading packages, see [How to Add or Upgrade Packages by Using the Management Console](appv-add-or-upgrade-packages-with-the-management-console.md).
## To make a connection group ignore the package version from the App-V client on a stand-alone computer
1. Create the connection group XML document.
2. For the package to be upgraded, set the **Package** tag attribute **VersionID** to an asterisk (**\***).
3. Use the following cmdlet to add the connection group, and include the path to the connection group XML document:
`Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup`
4. When you upgrade a package, use the following cmdlets to remove the old package, add the upgraded package, and publish the upgraded package:
- RemoveAppvClientPackage
- Add-AppvClientPackage
- Publish-AppvClientPackage
