The following are important fixes that have been made since the general release of Meridian Enterprise 2019 R2 in July, 2019. These updates do not replace any service pack or other updates already provided by Accruent. Updates are provided as-is and require advanced knowledge of Meridian Enterprise and administrator privileges to install them.
We do not recommend that you install these updates proactively because if they are not installed correctly, they can cause issues. We only recommend that you install updates to resolve known problems that users are actively experiencing.
