Readme Revision History

Important Notes about This Release

• This software update was originally released before March 18, 2016. Effective January 1, 2016, Microsoft deprecated the SHA-1 certificate Citrix used to code sign this update. This rerelease of the update uses the requisite replacement certificate. No other changes were made to the update. If you installed this update before the March 18, 2016 rerelease, there is no need for you to reinstall it.
• Note: As a best practice, Citrix recommends that you install this and other hotfixes only if you are affected by the specific issues they resolve. Otherwise, Citrix recommends that you wait for the next hotfix rollup pack for your product release. Hotfix rollup packs consolidate most previously released hotfixes and allow you to update systems in a convenient, single installation.
• Important: Installing this hotfix over an ICA session is not supported but you can install it through a remote desktop session using an administrator account.
• Caution! This release may require you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
