Apteco Orbit update requirements

From version 2.1.3 onwards, Apteco Orbit requires the ASP.NET Core 8 Server Hosting Bundle for the OrbitAPI, and doesn’t require .Net 6 anymore.

To take advantage of the new features in Orbit, follow these steps to update:

  1. Download and install the .NET Core 8 update.

    • Ensure you are using version 8.0.7 or later, as it includes essential security patches from Microsoft.

    • For the latest updates and details from Microsoft, visit the Microsoft .NET 8 downloads page.

  2. Installation Instructions

    • For more information on the ASP.NET requirement and installation instructions, refer to the FAQs for ASP.NET.

Note: When installing a new version of the .NET Core Hosting Bundle, keep your current version installed. If you delete your current version before installing a new version, this can cause the OrbitAPI to stop functioning correctly.
