NITCtxPatcher for XenApp 6.x

Here is the next version of our patch manager for Citrix XenApp 6 and XenApp 6.5. This version is free and requires only one registration and the request to announce annotations and error in the support-forum. Now I write first of all no new instructions. Also this Blog will grow with the versions.

Do you search for a version for XenApp or XenDesktop 7.x ? You find them >here<

I would like to thank all for the nice feedbacks to our patch manager for XenDesktop 7.6. Especially still once with my employee Martin von Hessert who had the idea for these tools

For visitors from Germany (special - Niedersachsen, Hannover und Hamburg) : Wir, die Nick Informationstechnik GmbH, würden Sie gerne bei Ihren Migrationsprojekten, Performance Problemen, Reviews und Automatisierung zu XenApp 7.6 und App-V 5 unterstützen. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anfrage! Kontaktformular Info[at]nick-it.de
