Notes

  • You can access supporting documentation here

  • Schools upgrading from version 3.12.41 or lower will need to apply interim updates in sequence

  • Schools wishing to perform a clean install of 3.12.59 can download and use the installer files here

  • The update to SOLUS3 will update the SOLUS3 service including each SOLUS3 Agent defined in the deployment environment

  • SOLUS 3 relies on certain items being configured as expected on the network

    • We at OSMIS have no control over the the configuration of networks nor over the software deployed. As a result any support provided for problems in the SOLUS software will be limited to advice on the identification of reasons for incidents and offered on a best endeavours basis only.

      • School technicians must familiarise themselves with guidance and documentation on these pages and ensure that they are fully conversant with requirements for the good running of SOLUS software.

      • Schools experiencing difficulties in the configuration and good running of SIMS systems are invited to consider subscribing to our remote update service.
