Yes, we're talking about a patch: the Faronics Deep Freeze Standard 8.38.020.4676 Patch to be exact! This post will explain what a patch is and why you - the intelligent human that you are - should download this one in particular! Read on for all the details...1) What is a Patch? The word “patch” originated from an old tradition of embroidering or sewing pieces of fabric together to repair holes or worn areas in clothes or blankets. As today’s technology advanced, software patches became commonplace as well and were used to fix bugs and glitches--and sometimes even security vulnerabilities--in computer code. Today, most software patches come in the form of executable applications that allow users to download and install new versions of an application or its associated files. 2) Why Patch This Patch? Faronics allows you to make customizations to your product. By modifying how Deep Freeze works, you can quickly and easily create a configuration that best suits your needs. For example, if you want Deep Freeze to enforce more strict policies for how clients are allowed to access their data, you could simply modify the existing configuration file instead of rebuilding Deep Freeze from scratch. In addition, you can easily push these customizations to multiple clients. Downloading and applying a patch is one easy way to customize Deep Freeze. In the Deep Freeze Standard package, no particular order of installation is required because individual components can be installed at any time. However, it is important to follow the installation instructions that come with a patch in order to successfully apply a new version of a specific feature or component. The instructions should guide you through the various steps necessary for successful installation and should provide additional information about other features that could be affected by the current patch. 3) Download the Patch In order to download the patch, visit Faronics’ Product Page for Deep Freeze Standard and click on the Downloads & Documentation tab. Scroll down to the Additional Resources section and select Patches from the drop-down menu. You will then be able to select from a list of available patches for your version of Deep Freeze Standard. If you haven’t applied a patch before, make sure you choose a patch that is higher than your current version of Deep Freeze because applying a patch always leads to an upgrade. Once you have selected a patch, follow the instructions below. Step by Step Instructions: 1. Download the patch and save it to your Desktop. Do not unzip it! (Patch files are zipped.) If you need to locate the patch file on your hard disk, you can use the following steps: a) From your Desktop, open Deep Freeze Standard and locate the file named “patch-xxxxx-xxxx” - where xxxx represents a two digit number (e.g., patch-8378016). Double click on this file and select Yes when asked whether you want to extract Deep Freeze from this file into your default folder (normally C:\\Program Files\\Faronics\\Deep Freeze Standard). 8eeb4e9f32 22
