Important Information

Version Numbering Change

As of 7.17.7, we've modified our versioning scheme to better coincide with scheduled monthly updates. We now use the following:

• 7 = Series Version; xx = Academic Year, beginning in June; yy = Month
• For example, 7.17.12 means:
  
  • 7 = Series version
  • 17 = 2017 academic year
  • 12 = The twelfth monthly update
    
    

Centralized Catalogs

If you have more sites than you are licensed for, contact our Sales team immediately at 1-800-347-6439. You can check this in Sites Management; the number of total sites plus the Union Site shows at the top, and the number you have licensed is at the bottom. (The Union Site does not require an additional license.)
