View Full Article
- Outlook Addin
- Version
- 2.4
- Release date
- February 8, 2021
This new version of the add-in has been released in order to update our code signing certificate.
Standard installation
- For users who had already installed the previous version (2.3), the add-in will automatically update itself to the 2.4 version after restarting Outlook.
- All new installations (for new users, new computers) of the add-in must be carried out with 2.4 version available here.
Centralized installation
The update will not be done automatically and it is incumbent upon the customer internal Support/IT department to ensure that users are updated to the latest version.
The new offline package is available here.- Users who already had 2.3 version installed on their computer can continue to use it without any issue if they prefer.
However, if at some point the add-in is deactivated by Outlook, it will be then impossible for them to reactivate it due to the expiration of the previous certificate. In this case, it will be necessary to deploy the 2.4 version on their machine. - All new installations (for new users, new computers) of the add-in must be carried out with 2.4 version.
