Mattheng Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Have noticed various people talking about SP2 for 2012. All my computers show SP1 and say that they are up to date when I check for updates. Am I going nuts? Quote Link to comment

Bryan G. Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 On the main board but not VSS. Quote Link to comment
Mattheng Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks. This does raise two questions: 1) why not VSS? 2) why do none of my computers know it's there? ..? Quote Link to comment
Guest Jim Kelly Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 There is no difference in availability of updates between VSS users and people who purchase directly. Regarding your computers, presumably you are you a US user, using a US serial? Quote Link to comment
Mattheng Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Nope UK based. Does this matter? Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Jim, I think there is a problem with non-US versions seeing the updates. As a Canadian user, I've downloaded both service packs for VW2012 myself, since "Check for updates" doesn't see them. As an observation, Nemetzchek is generally inconsistent as to how the service packs are released. Sometimes they are announced in these forums, other times in a Vectorworks Dispatch, sometimes on Planet Vectorworks and sometimes I hear from my distributor. The announcement never seems to happen consistently across all sources at the same time. It would be great if there was a standardized way of announcing them. Kevin Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I am in the US using the 30-trial version of Vw2012 and SP2 did not show up in 'Check for Updates'. I had to download it manually from the link listed above, so I don't think it's only non-US versions who can't see the update. Can anybody see it via 'Check for Updates'? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I couldn't see it with Check for Updates either. Had to download separately. UK. Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 But ...... Don't the international distributors release their own Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 But ...... Don't the international distributors release their own They just translate and rerelease it. Quote Link to comment
Guest Jim Kelly Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yes, there can be differences as to when the international distributors release theirs. I'll pass on a message to look into this. Note that downloading the US updater and applying it to the And Kevin, I can see why what you are seeing would be frustrating. I'll see if we can't standardize things going forward.

BenW Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am a US user and when I check for updates "Currently Up To Date" Currently using 2012 SP1 (Build149062). I guess I can't trust CHECK FOR UPDATES. Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It was released, but I see no announcements for it on this forum under "Vectorworks Announcements." My software had always said up to date as well. Quote Link to comment
