Lamar version: 5.0.6 iGotcha Signage version: 2.14.0.5

Update: iGS v. 2.14.0.5 resolves issue with Advanced Installer not updating the registry key to show the latest version of Lamar application on CMS.

Also, if you come across a computer that has Lamar v.3.x.x or v.4.x.x installed, then you need to uninstall the application first before you can install version 5.x.x. N.B. Lamar CMS is more reliable than iGS CMS with respect to showing Lamar version.

Note: This steps below show you how to prepare a new build for upgrading the kiosks

• Final format of the report: Not specified by the client. You could export the reports to Google Sheets and email the client links to these sheets.
