Hi all,

I'm working on setting up Monarch with Altair One and am curious how often AltairMonarchStandaloneInstallerEn.exe gets updated.

In our environment, users are not granted administrative rights on their systems; but we have a Privileged Authority setup that allows installation w/o administrative rights. That said, if AltairMonarchStandaloneInstallerEn.exe doesn't change much, Privileged Authority would be our choice for installation to user systems. But, if multiple releases of AltairMonarchStandaloneInstallerEn.exe are made over the year, keeping Privileged Authority updated with the latest installer would become burdensome.

Any guidance would be appreciated,

Brian

    Monarch's main versions getting released more often than one year on average, with sub-releases addressing some fixes, enhancements, rebranding, and other concerns coming up in 3-4 months or more often depending on the development cycle and demand. 

    From a support policies perspective, we support 2 main versions concurrently: the current release and one release prior to that.
