Laserfiche 8.3.1

Summary

Laserfiche 8.3.1 is a maintenance release to the Laserfiche Server and Client products. For a more detailed listing of changes, please see Knowledge Base article 1012942.

Installation Information

Laserfiche 8.3.1 is available on the Support Site in two packages: Avante and Rio. Team and United customers should use the Avante 8.3.1 installation package.

Rio 8.3.1 includes License Manager 8.2. License Manager 8.2 is fully compatible with Laserfiche 8.3 products.

The installation process works best when run from local media. Certain aspects of the installation wizard may not function correctly when run directly from a network drive or file share. For example, the installation may not automatically resume following a reboot after installing the setup prerequisites; you must manually restart the installation. Or you may be unable to assign a domain account during the service configuration step of the installation.
