Upgrading Dynamics GP 2018 Web Client

On the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog, Karl Hendrickson wrote that with the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018, you'll have to think about the steps to take to upgrade the web client. 

Hendrickson wrote that he doesn't yet have the code that contains the upgrade functionality, but expects that the new upgrade will work much like the GP 2016 R2 web client upgrade and he provides steps to follow. In the event that there are any changes, Hendrickson wrote that he'd test the process and update his blog post.

When you upgrade the web client you will have to verify whether you are in a single- or multi-server environment, according to Hendrickson.

If you're running in a single-server environment you'll upgrade the Session Central Service and Session Service on one server, he said. But if you're running a multi-server environment you'll have to install the Session Central Service update on the Session Central Server/Web Server:

The same goes for the Session Service/Session Host server.  Also, if you are running multiple Session Service Servers, make sure that you are upgrading all of them so that they are the same web client version.
