From time to time, Maplesoft issues corrections and enhancements to Maple T.A. in the form of downloadable hotfixes which can be applied to your existing Maple T.A. installation. A hotfix is a zip file (for Windows) or compressed tar file (for Linux or Solaris) containing a readme, a script and a small number of replacement files.
Note: Hotfixes and services packs must be installed sequentially. For example, to install Service Pack 2, you must first install Service Pack 1. If a Tomcat restart is required by one or more of the service packs being applied, stop Tomcat, apply all service packs in order, and then restart Tomcat.
Installation
To install the hotfixes, follow the instructions in the appropriate readme file. A copy of these instructions is also included in the download.
Windows
Linux and Solaris
Note: The service pack must be installed with "/force" option. Tomcat restart is required.
