In this scenario, upgrade the App-V clients first, and then upgrade the server components. - -- App-V supports only packages that are created using App-V 5.0 or App-V, or packages that have been converted to the **.appv** format. - -- If you are upgrading the App-V Server from App-V 5.0 SP1, see [About App-V](appv-about-appv.md#bkmk-migrate-to-51) for instructions. - -## Running the App-V client concurrently with App-V 4.6 SP2 or later - - -You can run the App-V client concurrently on the same computer with the App-V 4.6 SP2 client or App-V 4.6 SP3 client. - -When you run coexisting App-V clients, you can: - -- Convert an App-V 4.6 SP2 or 4.6 SP3 package to the App-V format and publish both packages, when you have both clients running. - -- Define the migration policy for the converted package, which allows the converted App-V package to assume the file type associations and shortcuts from the App-V 4.6 SP2 package. - -### Supported coexistence scenarios - -The following table shows the supported App-V coexistence scenarios.

To deploy the .admx template, see [How to Download and Deploy MDOP Group Policy (.admx) Templates](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn659707.aspx). - -**Note**   -App-V packages can run side by side with App-V 4.X packages if you have coexisting installations of App-V and 4.X. However, App-V packages cannot interact with App-V 4.X packages in the same virtual environment. - -  - -### Client downloads and documentation - -The following table provides links to the App-V 4.6.x client downloads and to the TechNet documentation about the releases.

To use the package converter on a package that was created using a previous version, you must use an App-V 4.5 or later version of the sequencer to upgrade the package, and then you can perform the package conversion. - -For more information about using the package converter to convert a package, see [How to Convert a Package Created in a Previous Version of App-V](appv-convert-a-package-created-in-a-previous-version-of-appv.md). After you convert the file, you can deploy it to target computers that run the App-V client. - -## Have a suggestion for App-V? - - -Add or vote on suggestions [here](http://appv.uservoice.com/forums/280448-microsoft-application-virtualization).
