But i always exit a programme before updating. Took about 3-4 minutes to install over the existing installation. Grant Darwin NT ID: 884399 ·

I upgraded all 3 of my machines to 6.6.20, it went without a hitch. Ditto. Didn't even need to stop BOINC. Seemless upgrade from 6.4.x to 6.6.20.

I'm on 6.2.19 (non-CUDA machine, only crunching SETI). From what I've seen in the threads, for this situation the upgrade appears clean. Only when dealing with CUDA and/or multiple projects does there seem to be some issues. Does this sound about right? I never had a prob even with cuda ID: 884902 ·

Can I change my app-info file so that I can do the latest enhanced version, which I think is 6.08 using 6.03 or is 6.08 only for Cuda work? ID: 885520 ·

Well I would. Actually all my farm has been running 6.6.20 for a while now. Works fine for cuda and non-cuda machines. Multi beam 6.03 is the cpu version and 6.08 is the gpu version.

Thanks for this, whilst checking my old version it was using 6.05 and I was informed that this was the wrong one and only should use 6.03. So I changed to only use 6.03, so what is the correct version for non Cuda MBs ID: 885525 ·
