Update from Version 5 to Version 6 for Ridom SeqSphere+ 
Important Information
The update from version 5 to version 6 requires not only a CLIENT but also a SERVER update. If only the client is updated the user can still login and work, but some of the new features are not available until the server is updated. After the server is updated users with old clients can still login and work.
This major version update cannot be installed with the built-in online update function.
On Windows the update must be installed by downloading and executing the Windows installers below. The execution of the installers requires administration rights on the computer. Some of the new features are dependent on the installation of the Windows Subsystem for Linux on the SeqSphere+ client computer.
On Linux the update must be installed by replacing the installation directories with the content of the tgz archive files below.
