Description Xixi 2015-07-08 21:12:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently, Capsule server fails silently if version does not match Satellite (e.g. 6.1 vs 6.0).  Instead it needs to clearly alert/explain to user from Capsule and Satellite the matching versions and to upgrade as needed.  This would improve usability/ customer experience and reduce support calls.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
