Update Server Software
Caution: Picturall Commander must always be in the same version as the Server software. Update Picturall Commander
together with Server software for best compatibility and performance. A message is displayed in Picturall Commander if
the versions do not match.
Tip: Updating the Server Software resets Configuration options but medias are not deleted. Export server configuration to
recover it after the update (see
Import and Export configuration
page 18).
The server comes fully installed with the server software. If a software update is needed, create an
installation USB stick and use it to update the software.
