Install a PPM Fix

You can update a PPM release version and related products with a PPM fix version by using the PPM Patch Setup. An official fix contains important error fixes for the product. You are strongly advised to apply official fixes using the PPM Patch Setup after you installed the release version.

The PPM Patch Setup offers the latest official fixes for all products you have installed. The current official fixes contain all official fixes previously released. The PPM Patch Setup updates only the user management and PPM related components. The PPM Patch reads the PPM installation path from the registry. To update the ARIS Cloud Controller and ARIS PPM Cloud Agent, you must perform a separate setup.

You can download current products, product updates and documentation on the ARIS Download Center.
