Determining When to Update

Read the release notes before installing an update.  These are available through The Edge internal Newsfeed and can also be found on the Downloads page on www.edgeuser.com.  Release notes are provided for each update.  

• Consider the number of workstations you have.  The update must be installed on each.
   
• You will not be able to use The Edge while the update runs.  The server will perform the database upgrade which could take a considerable amount of time depending on the size of your database.
   
• There is always the chance that a new release introduces a bug that requires a hotfix.  If it takes a considerable amount of time for you to update, you may want to wait a week or two after release before installing the latest version.
   
• We encourage you to read all the release notes starting from the first version higher than the one you are presently running.  You can see the version in the lower left corner of The Edge main screen.  Current and past release notes are available under the Previous Releases section on the Downloads page of EdgeUser.com.
