Re: upgrade guacamole 1.2.0 to 1.3.0

I use installation through a script. (Docker is not used there) but 
there is a more detailed instruction, I did not understand everything 
from your advice.

It still depends on whether you're doing Docker or native install. If 
using Docker, it should be as easy as updating the individual 
containers and re-launching them. If you're doing a native install, 
without Docker, then you'll need to:


* Download updated components (guacamole WAR file, any extensions, and 
guacamole-server)

* Rebuild guacamole-server, install, and restart guacd
* Update the extensions
* Deploy the WAR file, which will also re-start the client

There are no DB changes between 1.2.0 and 1.3.0, so no need to update 
DB schema.

First, I will caveat this by saying that you should consult a trusted
Microsoft Licensing expert. These folks are hard to find, because
usually they are resellers, which means they have an interest in
getting you to spend more money, but it is worth it to find someone you can
trust that can walk you through it. There may be someone lurking about on
the Guacamole mailing list that fits that description, but it is a
Guacamole-centred mailing list, not a Microsoft licensing mailing list.

That said, I think if you find an actual copy of the license agreement (I'm
having trouble locating an available copy at the moment) you'll see that
Microsoft has already anticipated and accounted for things like Guacamole
(RDP Gateways) in their licensing. In the Device CAL model, Guacamole
itself does not count as the device, but, instead, the end user web
browsers that are accessing the RDP server via Guacamole are what count as
the device. So, you'll still need to purchase a license for each end user
device accessing the server via RDP.

This includes instructions for building Guacamole Server from source, as
well as installing the client components. I cannot offer advice or help on
the installation script, as it is not part of the official Guacamole
project. I believe the person who wrote the install script participates on
the list, so they might be able to jump in and offer advice on upgrading
via the script, but I am not familiar with it.

If you have specific questions, feel free to post back, here, and ask, but
please also read the documentation and see if that helps you to understand
the process.
