major upgrades for clients

It is strongly hinted, but to my eye not explicitly spelled out, that when doing a major upgrade all clients must uninstall/reinstall the new major release of Deadline. Is this correct, or can I, say, connect to the new 9 repo with an 8 slave and do an auto-update?

The auto-upgrade mechanism is designed to only work with minor versions unfortunately.

Uninstall of the new major isn’t required, but you’ll probably want to clean out the binaries once you’re happy with how the new farm is operating.
