Why is NIS 2008 V15.0.0.60 not informing users that there is a new NIS version 15.5.0.23 and 2.1 Add-On pack available for installation? 

 

I manually downloaded and installed the new versions.  There are some noticeable improvements over the V15.0.0.60.  :smileywink:

 

And BTW, congratulations and THANK YOU for implementing this new User forum.  It will be a big success if problems are resolved on a timely basis.

You should backup your Identity Save data before reinstall or upgrade. There is an option to backup/restore your data located in "Identity Save Settings: Backup and Restore" to a singe file with .npm extention. This is what I did when migrating from NIS to N360. Use your previous password to create a profile after reinstall/upgrade, and then you can restore the .npm file. I had problems with a different password.

It has been 2 weeks since this response/solution was posted.  I have several friends who have not yet received this V15.5.0.23 update via their licensed NIS 2008 LiveUpdate.  It doesn't appear that it is a LiveUpdate download and that NIS 2008 has to be upgraded manually.  Right?/Wrong!/Be Patient:smileyvery-happy:

To my knowledge, the 2008.5 updates will NOT be coming down through LiveUpdate. You should receive all of the critical fixes, never-the-less via LiveUpdate automatically. Users “should” receive notification that a newer version is available with instructions for how to update but I have no idea when that is/was.
