Special Notice for LANSync Users Regarding Update to Service Pack 3

SI5 Service Pack 3 contains critical fixes which resolve bugs on both the server and desktop installs. Of particular importance are improvements to LanSync performance in MMPD and corrected calculations when converting to and from metric units of measurement.

Given the scope of these corrections, complete and correct functionality requires that all installs of SI5 (both desktop and server) are updated to SP3. Customers can choose not to perform the SP3 update; however, once performed the update must be deployed to all installs of SI5.

 In the case that a desktop has been updated prior to the server, or server prior to the desktop, desktop functionality will be limited. Users can continue to use other features of the software, but complete usage will be unavailable until the update is complete. See below for details.

D-Tools strongly recommends that, when updating to SP3, customers perform the server update prior to updating desktop installs.

In addition to install requirements, users are advised that projects designed using metric units will be converted when opened following the update. Click here for more details.

Customers are strongly advised to consider this requirement prior to choosing to perform the update to SP3.
