Ares Client Installer​
This file includes the Ares Client, Customization Manager, and Staff Manager.
- Server Version Requirement: You cannot install a new major version of the Ares Client until your Ares Server has been updated to that version (e.g., your Ares Server must be updated to 5.0.x to install Ares Client 5.0.x).
- SAM Compatibility (versions prior to v5.0.7): Ares Client Installers prior to v5.0.7 contain a deprecated version (v1.3.2) of the Atlas SQL Alias Manager (SAM). Please run the standalone SAM installer (see below) either before or after running the Ares Client Installer to update to v1.3.3.
See Updating Ares to Version 5.0: Updating the Client for more information.
