Updating to SP2

Updating Your SI5.5 Server and Client(s) to SP2

Note: See the SP2 Release Notes for details on the functions/fixes. If you are not able to update via the "Check for Updates" functions, please see here for instructions on manually downloading and installing SP2.
 
Updating  System Integrator 5.5 (SI5.5) to Service Pack 2 (SP) is quite an easy process. If you follow the directions below you should have a seamless update.  Your SI5.5 Server should be updated prior to updating your SI5.5 Clients.  If you open your SI5.5 Client and are prompted to check for updates as shown below, do not proceed until you have verified that your SI5.5 Server has been updated to SP2.

1. The first update will be to the D-Tools Software Update Utility.

2. The second update will be either the SP2 Server Update or the SP2 Client Update, depending which machine you are on.
