Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates

A cumulative update is automatically applied when you use the AutoUpdate functionality available in SDL MultiTerm. AutoUpdate is turned on by default, so you will automatically be notified of the update as soon as it is available. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and apply the update.

NOTE: Applying the update may take some time, as the SDL MultiTerm installation fully replaces the previously installed version. As a rule of thumb, applying the update will take roughly the same time as installing the application originally. SDL recommends that you use AutoUpdate. However, you can also apply the patch manually, as follows:

1. Close SDL MultiTerm Desktop 2019.
2. Download the ZIP file SDLMultiTermDesktop2019_CU6_56482.zip from our FTP site (Username: sdlpatches, password: 5dlpatch35).
3. The ZIP file contains an .exe file. Extract this file to a temporary folder of your choice, such as C:\temp.
4. Double-click the .exe file. This will install the latest release and replace as well as update the files in the SDL MultiTerm 2019 installation folder as appropriate.

After the update release has been installed and SDL MultiTerm Desktop or your PC restarted, the issues described in this article should no longer occur.
