Install New Versions of the Software
One of the benefits of being under active maintenance is you have access to the latest product features at no additional charge. You will be notified of new product versions via email and by following the SolarWinds Twitter & LinkedIn accounts.
To see if you are on the latest product version, check the Currently supported software versions. For Orion Platform product customers, look at the bottom of the web console to see which version you have installed.
Before you upgrade, be sure to learn about gotchas and updated system requirements in the Upgrade Guide for your product and on the Need Help Upgrading page.
