We are pleased to announce that the first public release of our 1.2 beta stream is now available to all our customers. You can use your existing 1.1 license and run this alongside your 1.1 deployment to preview the new features. All customers are entitled to receive the 1.2 upgrade as part of their ongoing subscription or maintenance agreement.
Why a Beta Release ?
With so many features added it’s hard to know what works and what doesn’t within the confines of our humble office so its time for you to tell us what you think. What features work, which ones need improving; are there any issues we missed or features we really need to add to make things more complete. All feedback will help us build Access Manager 1.2 into a product that really works, solves key problems and hopefully satisfy you and all the other IT teams out there.
