    • You must upload all prior immunisation records to the AIR before upgrading to Orchid.
    • Please ensure you have read the Bp Premier Upgrade Guide prior to proceeding with the upgrade. It is important to note that upgrades should be completed outside of business hours (with no users connected).

    •  NET Framework 4.8

    NOTE:  If .NET 4.7 is not already installed on your Server, it will get installed as part of the Program Update and a reboot will be required, therefore the update cannot be performed while Bp Premier is in use.

    IMPORTANT: This update will need to update the database tables used by the program. Best Practice Software recommends updating the server outside of business hours. After applying to the server, the upgrade can then be applied to each workstation, this workstation update should only take a few minutes. Due to new features released in the Indigo update it is a requirement that any sites using Management update all clients immediately as Management functions will be disabled in previous versions that connect to a Saffron server install.

    After upgrading, the Setup Third-Party Integrations screen will prompt you to enable the specific partner role for any third-party database integrations that your practice uses.  You must enable integrations from this screen; all legacy integrations will be disabled after upgrading to Saffron.
