Installing R4.4-01 Patch 3 issues

Hi Everyone

I am trying to install Patch 3 on my APROL R4.4-01 system.
I downloaded the Latest Release Key - Imported into the system

  • Edited the new key, and trusted it. (I did this on both my engineering
    and Root logins)

When I start the Patch installation when logged in as Root, or Engineering
I get the Fingerprint fault.

Is there an additional step im missing in the new APROL 4.4-01 version?

Hello Shaun,

Is this your first patch installation on the system, or are there already some patches installed?

Did you use the BuR_Industrial_Automation_APROL_Release_Key.asc file for version 4.4-01?

There is an option to run AprolPatchInstaller from the command line as root. If you run it in the terminal, you can skip fingerprint verification. However, this is at your own risk, as we can no longer guarantee that the file comes from B&R and has not been altered.

Hi @tomas.miculka

This would be the first Patch install from the base R4.4-01.

This is a new system created recently, that is why I went straight for the newest patch.
Should I install all the patches in order? (Base → P1 → P2 →P3)

I dont have other patches installed. I did download and use the new Release key found here.

I will attempt to run the Patch Install from the terminal today.

Thank you

Patches are cumulative, so you can install just the last one (P3).

If this is a development or testing system, installing the patch from the command line is acceptable. However, for a live system, I would recommend identifying the issue causing the fingerprint not to be verified.

Hi Jansen

Have you installed the patch P3 file yet? I did have a problem like yours.

I did patch them yesterday. I downloaded the APROL Release key and imported it as follows

Assume you downloaded and saved them to /home/engin/Downloads and logged in as root

#cd /home/engin/Downloads
#ls -l

After patching, please restart and then log in to the engineering account. Open CAEManager to update the database. Repeat like that for P2 and P3.

Hi @hatien

Thank you for helping with the step to install the patch from the konsole.
I managed to get the patch installed.

Hi @tomas.miculka

Thank you for helping with the information.
I managed to get the patch installed using the command line and skipping the fingerprint.
