Release Notes Version 6

Always install new releases on a test server and verify the results prior to doing so in production.

Ensure that you have a recent backup of your production database prior to installation.

The Microsoft Rewrite and Advanced Request Routing modules for IIS must be installed on the server, as a prerequisite to the product’s installation, to implement important security enhancements. Do not install Process Director v5.44.600 or higher unless the ARR v3.0 IIS package from Microsoft has been installed on the server.
