For the ServicePacks with Note symbol, extract the *.zip file under the ServiceDesk home directory and then run the UpdateManager.bat and install the *.ppm file which also is extracted under the ServiceDesk home directory. We strongly recommend you to take backups before migrating. This helps you prevent accidental loss of data.

Instructions to apply the Service Pack / Hotfix
- Shut down ServiceDesk Plus Server.
- Run the script UpdateManager.bat (UpdateManager.sh for Linux) in the <ServiceDesk_Plus_Home>/bin folder. This opens the Update Manager tool.
- Click "Browse" to select the Service Pack file (AdventNet_ManageEngine_ServiceDesk_Plus_<Version No>_0_0_SP-x_0.ppm file that you had downloaded) and then click "Install...".
- Follow the on-screen instructions to apply the Service Pack / Hotfix.

Important: for Windows Users :
We have changed the Target to start the ServiceDesk Plus server in
"Windows Start menu -> Programs -> ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus -> ServiceDesk Server" and ServiceDesk Plus Desktop shortcut icon. This needs to be done by users who have upgraded from any of earlier builds (from 4.0, 5.0, 5010 and below) to ServiceDesk Plus 5.5(5500 and above). This can be changed as follows
- Right click 'ServiceDesk Server' option and choose the Properties option.
- Change the value in Target field from
"{ServiceDesk_home}\jre\bin\javaw.exe -Dproduct.home=. -cp ..\lib\startupclasses.jar;..\server\default\lib\SDUtils.jar com.adventnet.start.ProductStarter StartServiceDeskService ..\server\default\conf\TrayIconInfo.xml"
to
"{ServiceDesk_home}\bin\startSDP.bat" where {ServiceDesk_home} is the ServiceDesk Plus installation directory which will be typically like C:\AdventNet\ME\ServiceDesk directory. - Click "Apply", followed by "OK" button
The step 1 to 3 has to be repeated for the ServiceDesk Plus desktop icon.
