The first number after the package name indicates the V12 version, followed by the sub-version, followed by the service pack number and finally the build number.

applicationname_<version>.<subversion>.<servicepack>.<buildno>.msi

Example:

Existing versions are regularly developed further and should be made available to you as updates as quickly as possible. Such updates always represent a complete package that usually includes updated CAD/PDM features in addition to the software.

  • MAJOR updates (version) = comprehensive new versionsof the CADENAS software, combined with a version change that affects the first version number (i.e. 12 for a V12).

    [Note]Note

    The license changes with major updates such as V11 to V12.

    V12 contains fundamental changes, so in most cases it is recommended to uninstall the existing V11 version beforehand. In addition to the instructions in this chapter, please also note the instructions under Change to V12 (Consulting).

  • MINOR updates (service packs) are minor program changes (e.g. V12 SP8 to V12 SP9).

In addition to the instructions in this chapter, please also note the instructions under Change to V12 (Consulting).
