Downloading the Update and Installation Instructions

To update SE Network Plus installations, you download the server update file to the computer that is hosting the SE server software. This server update file includes files for updating the SE server software, files for installing new SE clients (Windows, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X), and files required for manually and automatically applying the SE 2.1.1 update to previously installed SE clients.

Note: When you apply this server update, the SE server software restarts. Therefore, users should not be using Read Naturally SE when you update the server.
