What's new in Auto Shutdown Manager 5.5.2.9

Mar 19, 2018
  • This is a bug fixing release for 5.5.2.8, which should be urgently installed. Background: With 5.5.2.8, there was a file missing called “asdm_ds_s.xml”. This file was used in previous versions prior to 5.5.2.8. The previous release 5.5.2.8 expects it to be within the installation folder. If it is missing, saving of client changes, group assignments, licensing data and others will not work properly or could be event reset to default values. It is urgently recommended to update 5.5.2.8 to this newer release.
