System Requirements & SDK Upgrade Requirement
Have you reviewed the latest System Requirements
Before downloading or applying this new Encompass release, it is important to verify the latest system requirements for Encompass client machines. Please review the System Requirements for Encompass to ensure your environment meets the requirements needed to operate Encompass successfully.
The Encompass Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers to build custom applications that can be added on, or connected to, Encompass and the ICE Mortgage Technology Platform. If you are utilizing the Encompass SDK, a major Encompass release like this one requires you to upgrade the Encompass SDK run time environment to match the newly updated Encompass Server. If you fail to upgrade the SDK, your application will not be permitted to connect to the updated Encompass Server.
If your SDK application utilizes the Encompass SmartClient, you can automate this process so the SDK is upgraded automatically every time you apply an Encompass release. If your SDK application is installed on a computer at your location, you must manually upgrade the SDK for every release. For instructions for automating the upgrade process or manually upgrading the SDK, refer to the Upgrading the Encompass SDK page or view the SDK Programmer’s Guide.
