RE: [sumtotal_users] Re: Upgrading SumTotal to a new version

Yes, all TotalLMS 8.0 and beyond installations, as
listed in the release notes supplied with 8.0, and confirmed by my discussion
with my STS sales rep.  My understanding is that this is a policy change,
and a result of/enforced by much of the TotalLMS code to be provided only in
compiled form, with no source supplied
or available.

Not even those who install 8.0 in their own corporate networks?

Note that starting with 8.0, it is no longer supported (or
practicallypossible) for a STS customer to do their own
customization work. Atall. So, the experiences of those upgrading to
pre-8.0 releases won'tbe relevant to 8.0 and post-8.0 processes in
regard to "DIY" work.-- Joe Kyle--jjkd----- In

the initial work ordid you use SumTotal PS?> 2. When you

the customizations,  have you had anyissues with support?
For example, if you customized a piece offunctionality (i.e.,
changed the code in source files) and later foundthat you need a hot
fix that included the files that you changed, weretheir any issues
with SumTotal creating the hot fix?> 4. How did you ensure that
all of the hot fixes from the previousversion were included in the
new version? Did you have SumTotal PS doa validation, did your
support contract cover migrating the fixes tothe new version or are
you testing the new version and if the issueexists requesting a new
hot fix for the new version?> >
