Dear Sonja,

Could you please update the download link, as the current one has expired?

Thank you.

Hi @Erdem 

Edit - the links in the article above have been refreshed with the latest pre build of SP3. Please use those rather than the link I shared on this comment yesterday.

Also - while this early build is approved for production usage, we always advise to apply the official service pack once it is released. Please check back with Support either here or on a Support case to check for when it is finalized.

Thanks,

Dana

Hi @Raviraj We have not had other customers report this issue. Do you have a support case open? It must be something unique to your situation. Many customers are successfully using version 2024.5.

Thanks,

Dana
