Where the heck is the 25.4 on-prem installer?

In an unprecedented move you guys have demanded we all update our ScreenConnect servers by 10:00 pm EST tomorrow and here we are still with no installer with which to do that - the chances of any of us in multiple time zone scenarios getting all access clients online in the next 36 hours are already slim enough, and every minute that ticks by without the installer eats into this ridiculously short time scale.

What's the schedule please? I'm trying to rearrange resources and schedules to stand a chance of achieving this but it's impossible without knowing when we can start.

New cloud build is starting to roll out and we're hoping the on-prem build will be available very soon!

Here are the release notes for all the changes made:  https://docs.connectwise.com/ScreenConnect_Documentation/ScreenConnect_release_notes/ScreenConnect_2025.4_Release_notes 

Please review those carefully to prepare for some major changes. When we can breathe for a moment we're going to tackle the UX of them all and make them as frictionless as we can.

Thanks for info both. Looking like a late night ahead, those of us outside the US already getting late, it's so hard to plan this with no idea of if we're minutes or hours from release... though I realise it's been a lot worse of a 24 hours already for the developers et al.

I understand that security comes first but not to have any definitive news/schedule when on-prem release is coming is just mind boggling when they set the deadline. Tech support and account manager were useless in assisting; its as if they don't realise the importance on our side of supporting our customers and the implications.

This is certainly not a way of retaining customers

Edit: Genius, SC website goes offline entirely. ConnectWise, the gift that keeps on giving!

I was hoping when it came back up the installer would be there ... alas no such luck.

Wow - 12 hours since I've downloaded the Automate update, 4.5 hrs after I've installed it on our Automate server, but no on-prem server control patch yet.  What's odd, is that the cloud hosted product continues to show that the update has been applied.

We are now down to T-minus 23.5 hours to get this ScreenConnect update installed (plus all of our agents), this update which still does not exist, which we were told was in QA at the time of the town hall earlier today.

I'm generally known as a patient person among my peers, but this situation is frankly unacceptable. We were told that our frustration was understood --that may be true. However, there needs to be a way to buy us additional time to get things up-to-date, and it's equally clear there needs to be measures taken to prevent the risk of this situation from recurring.

My understanding is that the only way to buy us time is for the cert authority to give an extension to ConnectWise, but I don't know if that's likely.

The deadline has luckily been extended.

Tonight, Monday, June 9, we received an extension to the required ScreenConnect™ certificate rotation. The new build must be downloaded and installed by Friday, June 13, 2025, 8:00pm EDT (June 14, 12:00am UTC).

The new build is currently in testing. When it is available for deployment, all affected partners will be notified.

Hey all, you should have received an email about the certificate revocation being extended to June 13 at 8:00 PM EST.  In addition, there is another town hall today (Tuesday) at 6PM EST. See your email for a registration link. 


Frankly I have no idea how my team members in engineering, QA, PM, and support are still alive, but even with the extension, the urgency hasn't changed.


I can't speculate when a build will be out, but we'll send a mass ConnectWise email when the build is available. You can also subscribe to the Output Stream 25.4 topic, and I'll post an update in this thread as well.

As before, all relevant documentation and FAQs are on the University.
