Is there an Upgrade for FMS

When will I get upgraded?
Terminal Server Schools – Sunday 17th July
Upgrade Service Schools – From 19th July
Own Upgrade Schools – Files will be available on SOLUS on Monday 19th July.
.net Framework version 4
Following this upgrade schools will need to have upgraded to Version 4 of the Microsoft .net Framework. Failing to upgrade a workstation will result in SIMS .net failing to load.
