The following chart represents the upgrade path from ZENworks 2020.x or ZENworks 23.x to the current ZENworks 24.2 release.
The process requires three separate upgrades:
ZENworks 2020 |2020.1 to 2020.2: If you are on ZENworks 2020 or ZENworks 2020 Update 1, the first upgrade is to ZENworks 2020 Update 2. Both versions (2020 and 2020.1) can upgrade directly to ZENworks 2020 Update 2. This upgrade includes your Primary Servers, database, and Satellites. You can also upgrade your managed devices at this point or wait until you have upgraded to ZENworks 24.2.
ZENworks 2020.2 | 2020.3 | 23.3 to 23.4: The second upgrade is from ZENworks 2020 Update 2 or ZENworks 2020 Update 3 or ZENworks 23.3 to ZENworks 23.4. This upgrade includes your Primary Servers, database, Satellites, and managed devices.
ZENworks 23.4 to ZENworks 24.2: The third upgrade is from ZENworks 23.4 to ZENworks 24.2. This upgrade includes your Primary Servers, database, Satellites, and managed devices.
NOTE:ZENworks no longer supports Windows Server as a Primary Server from version 24.2 onwards. For more information, see End of Windows Primary Server Support.
Log in to the Customer Portal or Software Licenses and Downloads portal to download the files for upgrade. From the Downloads screen, select the Product, Product Name (entitlement) and Version to view the files. Click the Media Version column to sort the files.

Retrieve your ZENworks 2020.x license keys from the Customer portal to activate the environment during the install or upgrade.
During the ZENworks 2020 upgrade, the licensing option allows input of the ZENworks Suite license OR individual component licenses. Refer to documentation about Activating ZENworks Suite or Individual Product License.
NOTE:You can enter the license keys only for ZENworks 2020 version. For ZENworks 2020.x and later versions, you will have to enter the license only through the ZENworks Configuration Center (ZCC). For more information, see Activating ZENworks Suite or Individual Product License.
One of the primary tasks required to perform a successful ZENworks upgrade is identifying what requirements have changed between your installed ZENworks version and the target current version so that you know what steps you will need to take to account for those changes.
The following sections identify the major ZENworks components whose requirements you need to consider and plan for. Once you know these requirements, the upgrade instructions will help you meet them in the appropriate order.
The supported operating systems, resources, and hypervisors required to run the ZENworks Primary Server have changed from ZENworks 2020.x versions to the current ZENworks 24.2 release. You need to understand the requirements for both the ZENworks 2020.x version and the ZENworks 24.2 version so that you can correctly determine how to meet them and at which point in the ZENworks upgrade process you will need to implement the required changes.
NOTE:If you are using the ZENworks Virtual Appliance for your Primary Servers, refer to ZENworks Virtual Appliance for the requirements you need to consider before upgrading.
For a detailed listing of Primary Server requirements for ZENworks 24.2, see Primary Server Requirements.
NOTE:ZENworks no longer supports Windows Server as a Primary Server from version 24.2 onwards. For more information, see End of Windows Primary Server Support.

If you find that you need to upgrade a Primary Server’s operating system, consider the following:
In-place upgrades between major operating system versions are not supported. For example, you cannot upgrade from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019 with the Primary Server on the system as it will most likely result in issues with the Primary Server. Likewise, on SLES, you cannot upgrade from SLES 12 SP5 to SLES 15.
If the Primary Server is on SLES, you can perform in-place upgrades of minor operating system versions. For example, you can upgrade from SLES 15 to SLES 15 SP4.
If you are interested in moving to the ZENworks Virtual Appliance for your Primary Servers, once you are on ZENworks 23.4, you can move a Linux Primary Server to the Appliance. For information, see Moving from a Windows or Linux Primary to Appliance.

If you are using an external database, you need to upgrade or migrate the external database to the supported latest version before upgrading the Primary Server.
A Satellite must meet the minimum requirements for a managed device. Refer to the Managed Devices section for those requirements.
