clients, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, and Windows. Windows Phone is not 
affected. SAP strongly recommends that customers patch their servers.

Patching instructions:

2. SAP Afaria 7 SP4 Hotfix 16
2)          Apply server hotfix
The server version of XcListener will be patched when the hotfix is 
applied. The clients will be updated through the Afaria ESD process as 
they connect to the server.
