The 2024-04-17 security update is a mandatory update that will be required as of WednesdayThursday, April 17th18th.  Un-updated clients will no longer be able to connect to the Aeon server after this date.  To minimize disruption to reading room service, updating either after closing on April 16th 17th or before opening on April 17th 18th is recommended.

These instructions are only for users updating an existing installation of Aeon.  For new installations, please follow the Aeon Client Installation Instructions.

Note that, in addition to updating the DBC files, you will also need to update your Alma addon to continue using the Aeon/Alma integration.
