Read through the entire section prior to beginning the installation process. Each section has information about preparing for installation and what to have on hand, what to expect, how to handle situations, etc.
This section also includes key updates in recent releases.
Version 5.5
In the 5.5 release, all components have had their version numbers set to 5.5. The components include:
- Core Skyvera Social solutions
- Video Stream
- Internal Communications
- Engagement Scorecard
This should make it more simple to know the current version, and ensure compatibility between the components. The 5.5 release contains the same changes added to version 5.4.37 to facilitate installing on some SharePoint 2016 configurations and is the recommended release for any SP2016 deployment.
