Syncplify Server! v6.2.29 released

Importance of this update: [MINOR]
What’s changed?
  • Fixed a small bug in DNS record resolution that only affected the Windows version of our software, and only when the operating system’s DNS configuration was wrong in the first place

IMPORTANT NOTE: those who are running the “worker” system service under a different account (not System or LocalSystem) will need to re-configure the service to run under such account after upgrading from any version number <= 6.1.12)

Upgrading from v6.x.y is a simple and fairly automatic process: simply download the latest version from the official download page, and install it over the existing version, all of your settings and license will be kept.

If, instead, you’re upgrading from an older (v4/v5) version, you find the upgrade instructions in our knowledge base.

New support/ticketing system coming soon!

For several years we’ve been using Freshdesk to provide an online support/ticketing system to our customers. It’s a good and feature-rich solution, but it’s not deeply integrated with all of the other subsystems in our pipeline.

To improve on that, and to provide our customers with better, more tailor-made, more accurate support, we will soon switch to a more tightly integrated support/ticketing system.

When the new support/ticketing system is deployed, all support requests will need to be initiated from within your Syncplify Customer Center portal. Your information will be automatically injected into the ticket, so that you will have to write less, and we will have more information up front to help you better and more accurately.

Yet another step towards providing the best customer service we possibly can. 🙂
