Updates are a combination of our Service Pack and Hotfix releases, rolled up into a single Monthly Update for each version, inclusive of recent bug fixes and put through the latest Windows Patch testing.

Each Update is a full installation just like the Initial Release – which can be used to upgrade to the latest Monthly Update from a previous version (don’t forget to read the upgrade notes). It can also be used to start a brand-new installation. The Resource Center describes how to upgrade a redundant system with minimal loss of service – search for ‘Upgrade Strategy’. Separate Server, ViewX Client and Web Server hosts can be upgraded independently.

To assure that your download of the images are the correct and unmodified files, we include at the bottom of this email the hashes of the newly released files.
