ATTENTION
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS (ALL Sites): Always apply a release to your Training database FIRST!!
Note (Versions): Please note skipping publically released versions of LawMaster is NOT supported. As a result if there are publically released versions A, B and C available. You will not be able to jump from A to C. You will need to perform A to B and then B to C.
Note (OUTLOOK): Please note that you must select the correct ‘LawMaster
Outlook AddIn’ to run with the version of PracticeManagement Client you are
installing eg:’PracticeManagement Client Vxx.y.nnnn’ can only work with
‘LawMaster Outook AddIn Vxx.y.nnnn’. If you don’t have the correct ‘LawMaster
Outlook AddIn’ installed you will receive an error when communicating with
outlook.
When you install the latest
release into Training to test first, (recommended approach) any machines with
the new software (LawMaster Outlook AddIn Vxx.y.nnnn) will not work with
the Production database, until it is also upgraded. Please contact
Support should you require further information on this issue.
