Strange WX Update ?

Strange WX Update ?
March 07, 2025 10:29AM
Hi,
today I updated my 2025 WX vesions as prompted / asked by PCSofts automatic update.
Now my 2025 version shows 301022# instead of the previous 301022.

I hope this hasn't anything to do with the SAAS version ...

Has anybody else seen this?

Regards
Steven Sitas

Hi Steven,

no problem! In the past, PC Soft has already published updates between two existing versions by adding a "#".

Kind regards,

Being the uber-paranoid person that I am, I would not update anything unless:

1) One has complete backups of all source AND all WX installation setup packages - and in both cases going back as far as you can.

2) I would not allow any updates to the dongles

... until we have 100% clarity that all dongles will continue to work and that PCS will honor clause 7 of their own license agreement to replace broken dongles. Someone mentioned in these threads that PCS might not replace dongles going forward but I don't know if that is confirmed or not? Dongles were sold as part of a lifetime license ...

Just my 2c

Hi Guenter,

what scared me was that when I used Open in the Autoupdate form, I was asked for my SAAS credentials !!!
If you add to the above that I cannot find on the site a reference to the 301022# version, I panicked smiling smiley

Thanks

Hi JP,
from now on, I will definitely make backups before updating WX

Hi,

I use the Active Backup for Business of my Synology. It makes a daily Backup of My Laptop (it use deduplication, so it takes a few minutes).

I can restore my laptop and part of this to any other machine at any date backwards (you can define how long it holds the backups). And I have use this mechanism to renew my Laptop without reinstall anything.
