Upgrade to the Latest Software Release
To keep your deployment in compliance and get the latest features, functionality, bug fixes, and security enhancements, you must always upgrade to the latest version of Directory Connector. If you do not upgrade to the latest version that's available, you may experience issues, such as Directory Connector no longer synchronizing properly or being on a version that doesn't support the mandatory TLS 1.2 requirement.
Directory Connector automatically notifies you when a new version is available. Always upgrade to the latest version to avoid problems. You also see a notification in the Windows task bar.
