Updating to SP3

 
Note: See the SP3 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 SP3.
 
Updating  System Integrator 5.5 (SI5.5) to Service Pack 3 (SP3) 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,
STOP!
Do not proceed until you have verified that your SI5.5 Server has been updated to SP3.  Updating your SI5 Client prior to updating your SI5 Server is highly not recommended and will result in you not being able to login to the SI5 Client until you update your SI5 Server.
