Hi Joe,

We are currently on version 1.68.12 and my understanding from the update announcement is that we can in-place update to version 1.68.19 which has the ETL licence fix applied.

&nbsp;

Is that correct?

&nbsp;

My second question is when I run the update option in Matillion Admin, I get a $ Script timed out error like you see below:

&nbsp;

 ![069Tm000002KAGfIAO_0D7Tm000000R8vxKAC](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/matillioncommunity/original/1X/8d3e0a064ae3cad127a3eb3c88e9708ca38f8823.png)

&nbsp;

Is there a way around this or another method to check for in-place updates on the server directly?

&nbsp;

Many thanks,

Steve

All good, thanks [@ClaireSeniorCommunityManager](https://matillioncommunity.discourse.group/u/ClaireSeniorCommunityManager)​ ! We did the in-place hotfix last month which resolved our issue. I was just curious why the update from the Matillion admin menu wasn't working as expected. I think in future we are looking to go to the Cloud version.

Cheers,

Steve
