Release Notes

The following sections list the release notes for publicly released versions of Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server 7.0.

While the Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server installer includes automated backup of your existing installation, it is always a good idea to make a pre-update backup of your data yourself - taking a redundancy copy off to one side, as it were. This provides additional safety should any unforeseen technical difficulties arise (see Backing up and Restoring Your Installation). It is advised to test out a new release of Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server on a different machine, before updating your production instance. Use of Virtual Machines can be invaluable in this respect.

In addition, please ensure that you refresh your Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server licensing. From the Admin – Licenses page of the Workspace browser interface, delete the existing Server/CAL licenses and then add fresh instances back in. This will ensure you have the latest licensing, incorporating any licensing-related feature changes.

Version 7.0.4

Build: 11 Date: 3 October 2024

In the near future, SVN will no longer be supported in the Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server product. We will update you during the next few releases regarding the timeline as to when support will end. Learn more about how you can migrate a project from an SVN repository to the Enterprise Server's built-in Git repository.
