To update or wait?

[GarryB]

It's that question of do I or don't I?

I was planning to update the 3shape DS software and the scanning software was also going to be updated.

I got an email this morning saying there was a global issue that was with the scanning software update. Then got another saying it's solved.

I had decided to update but now I'm a bit jittery......PTSD from all those bad windows updates over the years that screw your system!!

What would you do?

What version are you running currently?

I wouldn't update specifically on Monday morning no matter what If you do it, do it Friday night, test extensively, if it won't work, you have time to roll back.

I was just going through the same thought process as the op. We're still running 2014. It's been stable and all my implant systems work etc... I was going to start looking at upgrading this week and then the worldwide outage happened. Not to us though.

still 2014 here and no plans to change. 2016 isnt THAT much better, if at all.

Buy a new PC and put the upgrade on that, keep the existing 2014 were its at. This way you don't loose. On my desk I got 2016.3 and 2014 2.9.9.5 but haven't had to use it for a while since 2016.1.
