      1003 Updating Point

      Important: You must install the full Microsoft .NET Framework package compatible with your Point version before completing the update. 

      Before you install the Point update, your MyCalyx Administrator must deploy the new version.

      To deploy a new Point version:

      1. Log in to https://www.mycalyx.com.

        Electronic Point deployment is at your fingertips

        Point version 11.5sp1 is now available!

        To ensure that the latest I-update is applied after updating Point, please remind your users to close and reopen Point one time before using. 

        Electronic Point deployment is available through MyCalyx.com®. MyCalyx® Administrators manage the distribution of Point for installation, monitor usage, assign user roles, and grant or rescind access for all licenses on the account, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

        Important - To avoid potential loss of data, Calyx recommends that users back up their data before they download the latest version of Point.

        For instructions about backing up PointCentral data, refer your end users to the knowledge base article 3610 PointCentral Data Backup

        The MyCalyx installer requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8
