Upgrading your Content Server on Windows Server OS
The current version of xCelerated Composition Platform (xCP) is version 1.5 (6.6 release). It is not possible to update the entire software platfrom 1.5 to 1.6 (6.7 release).
Note: Due to changes in the licensing of some 3rd party components that are used in the xCP Developer Edition, the 1.6 release has been delayed. Please watch this page for an announcement of its availability.
The first step is to upgrade the Content Server from the released version 6.6 to the current version 6.7 SP1. Here is the upgrade checklist with additional screenshots and comments.
