Meridian Enterprise 2020 R2 Update 1

The following are important fixes that have been made since the general release of Meridian Enterprise 2020 R2. These updates do not replace any service pack or other updates already provided by Accruent. Updates are provided as-is and require advanced knowledge of Meridian Enterprise and administrator privileges to install them.

We do not recommend that you install these updates proactively because if they are not installed correctly, they can cause issues. We only recommend that you install updates to resolve known problems that users are actively experiencing.

Improvements and issues fixed

This update has the following limitations and requirements:

• May only be installed as an update to Meridian Enterprise 2020 R2, not as a new installation.
• May be installed only on the server, only on the client PCs, or on both.
• Does not require access to the Meridian Enterprise 2020 installation package files.
• Is for all Meridian Enterprise servers regardless of the license level Base, Standard, or Plus.
• Includes the Meridian Enterprise 2020 R2 client components that are also required on the server. The separate workstation update does not need to be installed on the servers.

This update includes the following improvements to existing functionality.
