View source for Updating to version 5.676 or later

When updating PARS to version 5.676 or later, from a version 5.75 or below, there are several steps that must be taken to ensure PARS works correctly. <br> <br>

#PARS now requires the Microsoft.NET Framework version 4.6.2 to be installed on the IIS server hosting PARS. This must be installed prior to updating PARS
#After installing PARS version 5.676 or later, you should visit this page '''[[PARS main menu]]''' > '''[[System management]]''' > '''[[Registration preferences]]'''. Mapped sessions (where a pupil receives their AM or PM mark from a lesson register) are now configured via the Session Times tab (see [[Registration_preferences#Session_times|this page for more information]]). Even if you do not have mapped sessions you must visit the registration preferences page once, although you do not need to click anything.
#Users who access PARS now require some permissions in SIMS in order for PARS to function correctly. The required permissions are:
:::'''Group manager > User defined''' <br>
:::View (All) <br>

:::'''Admissions > Admissions - Common Data''' <br>
:::View (All) <br>

:::'''Students > Attendance''' <br>
:::View (All) <br>

:::'''Students > Registration''' <br>
:::View (All) <br>

:::'''Students > Student Exam Results''' <br>
:::View (All) <br>

:::'''Students > Timetable and Academic Classes''' <br>
:::View (All) <br> <br>
:::''The user will also need to be a member of the standard '''Class Teacher''' group.'' <br> <br>
