Across Patches and Service Packs

Patches and Service Packs are designed to subsequently install the latest changes to the program within a defined updated version of Across. The latest patch is designed for those who already run version 4.00.0 (you can find the version number in the Across main menu under /Help/About Across).

Basic Points before Starting

  • Please read this page completely before updating.
  • Further information can be found in our current documentation and our FAQs. If you have any queries, please contact our support team before updating.
  • You require administration rights for each computer.
  • We recommend backing up all Across data (or that of the complete computer) before starting each update.
  • The latest patch includes all patches available for this defined updated version of Across and the installation of any possibly existing older patches is not necessary.
  • The downloads include the patches for both client and server installations of all product options (with the defined version number) and can be used universally.
  • If you are running an Across server, please make sure that all clients are updated.
  • If you are running both an Across server and an Across client on the same computer, you only need to install the patch once.
  • Please note: if you are a user of the Across Personal Edition you should arrange with your customer about updating before you start.

Across Language Server v4.0 Service Pack 1

The latest patch is designed to bring your Across installation up to date with Service Pack 1. The Service Pack contains various new features such as FrameMaker 8 and SGML support, context matching, client capability through project management templates, and improvements for Web-based translations via crossWeb.

A detailed overview of the new features is available in the What's new document. The complete documentation is available in our Documentation Center.

Updating an Across Language Server

  1. Notify any clients that may be logged on that the Across server will be temporarily unavailable.
  2. Stop all relevant services (Across server, crossTank and crossTerm in crossAdmin and, if applicable, crossAPI and crossVPN) then close crossAdmin and, if applicable, Across on the server.
  3. Check the control panel/administration/services to ensure that these services have really been discontinued.
  4. Run the patch utility setup.exe.
  5. Restart the Across server (or restart the services that were stopped).

In the log directory of your Across installation you will find detailed information about the patch you have installed.
