Difference between initial release vs service release

Difference between initial release vs service release?

Is this service release is cumulative or I should install Initial release file and then the service release?

Ok if I want to install the Nprinting May 2022 Instead of installing initial release I can directly install May 2022SR4 (which it contains initial + fixes )? Is it a true statement.

Hello @hjampani2019 You will want to install the Initial Release + the latest Service Release. The SR's are cumulative but they are updates, not full releases/installations. So you wouldn't need to install Initial Release, SR 1, SR 2, SR 3 and SR 4. Just IR then SR4.
