A patch update is an update performed on the MR software to another build of the same MR version. An example would be upgrading to MR 4.0.90 to MR 4.0.102.
Below is a diagram of the MR software naming structure.
If you are upgrading to a new build of the same MR version (e.g. MR 4.0.90 to MR 4.0.102), you’re in the right place!
If you’re upgrading to a new MR version (e.g. MR 3.20 to MR 4.0 or MR 4.0 to MR 4.2), follow the instructions in the MR4 Upgrade Guide🔗, or, if upgrading from any MR3 version to MR 4.0, follow the instructions in the How to Upgrade from MR3 to MR4 tutorial🔗.
To install a patch update, follow these steps:
1. Create a backup of your MR database.
Before installing an update, Noraxon recommends having a backup copy of your database saved. The MR4 Data Backup, Management, and Sharing Guide🔗 reviews the procedure for generating a backup by exporting data from your database using the Export > Export to External Location option in the Database tab.
2. Download the installer for the new MR patch to your PC.
The latest MR version can be found at the link below.
3. Run the installer.
You’ll be asked to verify the presence of a backup copy of your database to continue.
4. When you get to the option below, ensure you do not change the file directory.
The new program should be installed to the same folder your existing version is installed to. (This is typically the MR 4.0 folder.)
NOTE: If Noraxon Support asks you to install the software differently, follow their instructions.
