viewtopic.php?f=84&t=9441
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR LINUX USERS:
This only applies to Linux users who are running beta 17 or earlier. Beta 18 updates the version PyQt libraries so that they are the same version as the Windows and OSX versions. Because these updated libraries are installed by the Client installer only, the Client installer must be run to properly upgrade. This means that if you have beta 17 or earlier, you must manually reinstall the Clients again, as opposed to using Deadline’s auto-update feature. After you are running a minimum of beta 18, you will be able to use Deadline’s auto-update feature to upgrade from beta 18 to beta 19 and so on.
See the Upgrading documentation in the CHM or PDF Deadline 6 manuals for more information.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MAC OSX USERS:
This only applies to Mac OSX users who are running beta 14 or earlier. Beta 15 included a key fix for auto-updating on Mac OSX. This means that if you have beta 14 or earlier, you must manually reinstall the Clients again, as opposed to using Deadline’s auto-update feature. After you are running a minimum of beta 15, you will be able to use Deadline’s auto-update feature to upgrade from beta 15 to beta 16 and so on.
See the Upgrading documentation in the CHM or PDF Deadline 6 manuals for more information.
