About Maintenance Packs

A Maintenance Pack (MP) is a collection of security updates and fixes for reported problems. Maintenance Packs are cumulative, so only the latest one needs to be installed.

Maintenance Packs are made available periodically and can be downloaded and installed in accordance with the terms of your maintenance agreement. Current maintenance is free for all SCOoffice Server 4.1 customers, but SCO reserves the right to introduce an annual maintenance and upgrade fee in the future. SCOoffice Server Maintenance Packs are available for download from the SCO Support Services Download web page at:
