This article provides an overview of patching a PROJECT in a box client-server installation from Version 3.0 to Version 3.1. Please note that patches must be applied incrementally e.g. if your installation is at Version 2.8 you must patch to 3.0 then 3.1. All downloads are available from your client page.

PROJECT in a box (PIAB) is a client-server application consisting of:

• An ASP.NET web browser and web services application ('piabws')
• A SQL Server 2008 or 2005 database ('piab')
• A .NET Windows client application that connects to the service using web services (http/https).
