Compatibility

Loupe 3.5.5 is backwards compatible with 3.0 and has the same constraints as 3.0 when working with older versions:

• Agent: Compatible with Server & Desktop versions 3.0 and later.
• Server: Fully backwards compatible with older Agents and Loupe Desktops, any version.
• Desktop: Compatible with Server versions 3.0 and later.  Compatible with any version of Agent.

Agent Side by Side Compatibility

You can mix older and newer agents on the same computer, however they will be unaware of each other and will not coordinate when sending to hub, packaging, or auto send consent.  When upgrading any unsent sessions recorded by a 2.x agent will not be transferred by the newer agent.

New Features In This Release

Installation Supports Skipping IIS Site Install

To support more advanced scenarios where the site needs to be configured externally it's possible to bypass the website installation.  This can be done in the UI or by specifying the SKIP_WEB_SITE Windows Installer parameter to "1".
