Updating SendPro Enterprise for self-hosted users

SendPro Enterprise is updated regularly with new features and compliance items. Customers who are self-hosting their SendPro Enterprise instances are responsible for applying updates in a timely manner.

This article applies to SendPro Enterprise self-hosted users only. If you are a self-hosted user, your SendPro Enterprise is not hosted in the Pitney Bowes cloud. If you are a subscriber, your SendPro Enterprise is managed and updated by Pitney Bowes so you do not need to perform this task.

If you are upgrading from below 8.58.0 a new installer is required. Please see Installing the SendPro Enterprise v.3.45.0 installer for SendPro Enterprise versions 8.58.0 and higher.

Important: Before proceeding, it is strongly recommended that you back up the SQL database(s) and export the configuration file from SendPro Enterprise Setup.
