  • SignUp: Same version as the Uniprint version

How much time will these updates take?

For Uniprint, if a customer is already on Uniprint 9.1 SP3 or 9.2 General Release, the updates should take less than 15 minutes per server. If a customer is on an earlier version, it may take around 15 minutes to an hour per server to apply the Service Pack, including this update (servers can be updated concurrently).
