CatDV Server

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SERVER 9 USERS. CatDV Server 9 is a major software release and should be thoroughly tested with your workflows in a test environment before upgrading your production environment. If you could like development licenses for testing prior to upgrading please contact us. Please also ensure that all of your desktop clients have been upgraded to version 13 of the desktop client to avoid data incompatibility issues.

If you’re not using Server 9 you can download the latest version of CatDV Server 7 or 6 from the older software versions section below. To use Server 6.10 you require a license purchased after December 2014 or to be under a current software maintenance agreement. Please note that you can use either the CatDV Desktop Client or a third party application to verify the files MD5 checksum.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SERVER 6 USERS: CatDV Server 7 and onwards stores its metadata in a different way from previous versions or CatDV Server. The upgrade process must, therefore, migrate your data from the old format to the new format. This step cannot be undone so it is vital that your data is properly backed up before you start in case it becomes necessary to roll back your installation.
