Hi there,

Thanks

#2

End of February/Beggining of March

#3

Thanks Siketa, that’s a good news ;D
Any info about bugs fixed/features added with this new realease?

#4

I am too waiting to install CIS 6 on my cousin system.

But I will install fresh & not upgrade. Now too I can install CIS 6 on his system but I think the autoupgrade or that version will be more polished with fixes & improvements & fresh install would be better as CIS 6 has lots of changes in security architecture & other aspects so waiting for that version.

Any news?

#6

Not yet.

#7

Well, to know that there are not news is already a news itself :wink:

#8

No news yet ?

I may have never inderstood Comodo policy of products continuity…

As configuration of CIS is not trivial, together with development of a new version
should be developed a way of transit configuration of new version and making update.

CIS 6 is out for quite a long time.
Uninstalling/reinstalling/exporting/importin/manual fiddling
are much less than optimal ways how to do that.

We are expecting the update from 5.12 to 6.1 with the program updater in a couple of weeks.

#10

The good thing is, the CIS 6.x is still available. :wink:

#11

Where is it, guys? ???

#12

I gave up and installed 6.x over the 5.x manually.

#13

and it worked?
I mean did you loose your settings, rules etc. from version 5.x? Or they were overtaken in the new 6.x version?

#14

Use the upgrade installer. It should save your settings and rules.

#15

It is already about 2 months or so, I cannot remember if I used normal or upgrade installer.
I guess I would use upgrade one, if 2 occurred at download pages.

It created 3 fresh profiles aside of 3 original profiles.

But I have used fresh ones, starting with no creation of rules for known applications,
so I do not have so many FW/HIPS rules as I had before, what I liked.

#16

Did you try activating on of the profiles from your 5.12 installation?

#17

No, even if I have kept them.
I decided to start with fresh ones.

#18

I was curious to whether a previous configuration would work in your situation.

#19

I had tried the upgrade & yes previous config worked here but I dont remember if the upgrade set the settings to default or rightly to my previous one. I think I had posted about this but now couldn’t find the post.

Why autoupgrade is still not there?
