The first update for PhonePad 5 is now available for download. Update 1 includes the following changes:
- Control Center – This newer version will help prevent your Server’s or Host PC’s firewall from blocking communication with your workstations. It will automatically add an exception rule to your Windows Firewall for PhonePad 5 Server when you install the service. If your network is part of a domain then you will need to edit the rule and check the Domain check box.
- Database Update – This new application is responsible for updating your PhonePad 5 database whenever database updates
are released. These will tend to be more frequent than application updates as we add new functionality and fix any issues. - Database Migrator – If you are a PhonePad 4 user than this application will transfer your PhonePad 4 data over to PhonePad 5. This is a re-release of the migrator that was released yesterday and is an improved version.
- PhonePad 5 Admin Guide – Updated with instructions on using the new Database Update and Database Migrator applications.
- Fixed an issue with an error that sometimes occurred when creating new user accounts.
- Fixed an issue where the Don’t Show Again check box in message dialogs was not remembering the setting.
- Fixed an issue where messages couldn’t be manually deleted from the Deleted folder.
- Minor bugs fixes.
When you install the update on your Server or Host PC, PhonePad will be automatically updated on each workstation when users log in.
There is also a database update, called Update 1 as well. It is strongly recommended that once you install the server update that you also run Database Update and download and install the update. It is especially important that you do this if you are going to be using the Database Migrator.
Important note: whenever you install updates, either application updates or database updates, you need to ensure that all users are logged out of PhonePad.
Download the update now to your Server or Host PC.
Please note that the update will only work if you have PhonePad 5 installed. If you don’t have PhonePad 5 installed then download the full version instead as it contains all of the updates.
