15.1 Update or Install?

PostThu Sep 20, 2018 3:34 pm

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just downloaded the 15.1 Resolve (free) update. When I click on the installer, it says "You're about to install Resolve 15 ...". I want to make sure that this is, in fact, an UPDATE and not a fresh install that will override my current version of Resolve 15. If the latter, I would assume I'd need to go through the process of backing up databases, etc.

It overwrites the existing application but not the database

That said, you should always backup th DB prior to upgrades
