- There's been an incorrect dividing of licensed and non-licensed software in the CM server version c2.5-n325. The bug is fixed by CM Server upgrade to version 2.6.-n348, by our support's intervention and finally by receiving a new full Descript into the CM Server.
- Fixed detection of RAM loaded over 4GB by one processor in 64 bit systems - C-Monitor has indicated this information in the Online informations for TOP processes occupying the memory and in Watch in the condition Process usage.
- Descript - oprava inštalačného dátumu MS Office uvádzaného v Zóne OS a Office info kde bol ako dátum inštalácie MS Office udávaný dátum poslednej aktualizácie MS Office. (v SW audite bol v poriadku)
- Descript - fix of the MS Office installation date stated in the OS Zone and Office info, where there's been stated, as the MS Office installation date, the date of the last MS Office update. (it was correct in the SW audit).
