Upgrade/Installation Notes
In order to upgrade to version 3.1.3, when you open WIPO Sequence you will see an auto-update pop-up box. Please agree to continue with the upgrade and WIPO Sequence will initiate the new installer. The new installation package will also be available on the WIPO website at: https://www.wipo.int/en/web/standards/sequence/index
During installation, you may be prompted to copy across existing projects to the new database. This will happen automatically if you click next. Note that these existing projects in the old database will not be deleted, allowing you to rollback to version 2.3.0.
While we are providing an improved release of WIPO Sequence, the version 2.3.0 installer will remain on the WIPO website until December 31, 2026 in order to ensure a smooth transition to the new version.
