Hello Andrea,
Im also intrested in testing the new version.
Hi Andrea, can you send us a copy? We have about 200 clients. Can we automate the update or is this manual labor?
Hi, yes, i send u a PM
Hi, Please share the link.
Hi Andrea, could you please send me a copy of this link as well? This issue has been driving us crazy!! Thank you very much.
A t the moment there’s no link to download the installer directly. If you have an open case, you can ask the Engineer assigned to the case, to provide you with the file.
If you’re being affected by this but don't have a case you can send me a PM and I can share the installer.
If the installer doesn't fix the issue, a case needs to be open, if you have an open case, it needs to be escalated or if the case is with GES provide feedback in the case.
Hi , i have case opened and GES send me a file
