PA File Sight Release Candidate

This page is where you can find our very latest release. Versions that make it to this page are considered solid and candidates for production release, but we're still adding features and/or the build hasn't received enough feedback yet. If we implement a feature or fix for you, we will typically send you to this page to try it out. We fully support these builds as though they were production releases. Many of our largest customers stay on the Preview build so they get features and fixes sooner.

Updates / Upgrades

PA File Sight can be upgraded by simply installing the latest version on top of your existing installation. Your settings and databases will be upgraded as needed.

You might need to reset the PA File Sight service's Run As account (from Settings or the Windows Services applet), but other than that no further configuration changes will be needed.

Your product is by far the best I have ever used in this field, and I hope we can continue to work together.
