Note: This installation process is only eligible for upgrades and needs to be run on a the machine that currently has the Engagement Bridge installed and running (typically the Server machine). If your company has multiple locations utilizing clinics in your PMS, this install only needs to occur on your main server computer. Each location does not need to complete the update. The Server machine must be operating on Windows.
If you notice that your Bridge version is prior to version 100 or if you have issues updating your Bridge, please contact support for assistance.

Click on the Services tab and then select Status from the left side menu
Check the Bridge status line item and ensure that it shows a green Enabled checkmark and review the Notes for details about the current version number
