Reinstall after applaying a hotfix or not?

Hi,

I have applied the hotfix 10.0.5484 Hotfix 8 - Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) (http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/274927.htm) and wonder if I need to reinstall the clients to get the hotfix to get to the clients or does it applies in some automatic way?

I have recieved no answer on this issue...

    yes you do have to re-deploy, veritas also recommend creating new user profiles??!! But follow the steps below and you should be right....

    DLO Desktop Agents

    After installing the hotfix, the desktop agent must be upgraded to take advantage of the new features in this hotfix (although it will continue to function if it is not upgraded).

    To upgrade the desktop agent on the desktop computer:
    1. Exit the desktop agent, if it is running
    2. Browse to the network server where the installation files for the desktop agent are stored. The default location is \\\DLOAgent.
    3. Run Setup.exe
