What is a 3DEXPERIENCE Fix Pack?
Fix Packs are maintenance components that need to be periodically installed on customer machines in order to keep their 3DEXPERIENCE platform release up-to-date. These fix pack contain corrections developed from customer incident reports and quality service requests.
Fix Packs are typically released every 8 weeks and are recommended to be kept up-to-date on machines running the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
