Upgrade Information

SSEC distributes McIDAS-X and McIDAS-XCD once a year, normally in late-May. The upgrade package includes manual updates and software media (if requested by the site), as well as upgrade procedure documents that include information such as hardware, software and disk space requirements. McIDAS software upgrades are distributed as a total replacement of the core system.

The SSEC McIDAS Help Desk provides full assistance for McIDAS software questions pertaining to the current or previous issue. The Help Desk will still assist those sites that are two issues behind the current issue at a reduced capability, provided the issue in question does not surpass nine months from the current date. A complete description of your MUG support is detailed in the SSEC McIDAS Users' Group Policy Document.
