Important Reminders: The Auto update will not overwrite the installation folder for CBE instead it will create a folder "CBEUpdate" that contains the update/changes for CBE that can manually be applied to your CBE or web folder. Before upgrading, please back up the database and all server components, including website folders. The web services component (Internet Connection) is no longer supported and was removed from this version.
