Preparing to Apply the Opening Suite Pre-Release Update

Before proceeding with this procedure, you must receive the Pre-Release Invitation email. The Pre-Release Invitation email provides a password you require to gain access to the .Zip file, which means without the email you cannot apply the updates. When you choose to apply the updates, all users must be offline. Comsense does not provide access to Program/Catalog Updates while users are online and opens the Program Updates Error dialog box.

In your pre-release invitation, you will be provided with a link to download a zip file containing the update. Click this link and download the file. The file name will be formatted similar to ComsenseUpdates_####.zip

The file will download into your Downloads folder.
