Yes. Upgrading from any version including 08.11.13.57, via full install or patch, to 08.11.13.96, will require the SQL project database schema to be updated.
Project Database Version - Promis.e
So the file partially downloads and then the download stops/fails? Perhaps the file is not yet cached on a server close to you.
Note that since you are running 08.11.13.57, you could download and install the Promis.e V8i Update 1 (English) 32-bit (08.11.13.96) file, which is smaller, and install that over 08.11.13.57.
Hi all! I can finally reply that Promis.e V8i SELECTseries 8 Refresh (08.11.13.96) is available for download. See the announcement here.
Adam, I saw that regarding the announcement you had asked, "the download link appears to be broken, is that intentional?" Which file are you having trouble downloading, the installation file, Readme, or Release Notes?
