Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s Adobe Connect (https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/) will be undergoing maintenance on the following dates:
- Thursday, July 19th, 2018 (9am - noon)
- Thursday, August 9, 2018
- Tuesday, August 14, 2018
- CANCELLED: Thursday, August 16, 2018 (To be rescheduled at a later date)
On those days the site will go offline at about 8:00 AM and will remain offline until maintenance has been completed. The site should be back online in the early afternoon; however, you should plan for it to be off until 5:00 PM.
During this round of maintenance we will be upgrading Adobe Connect from version 9.6 to version 9.8. The newer versions of Adobe Connect utilize a new Adobe Connect meeting application that replaces the old Adobe Connect Add-in. After the upgrade, hosts and presenters, and participants that do not have Adobe Flash Player, will need to install the Adobe Connect meeting application in order to join a meeting. The Adobe Connect meeting application can be preinstalled prior to the upgrade from the following links:
- Windows - http://www.adobe.com/go/Connectsetup
- Macintosh - http://www.adobe.com/go/ConnectSetupMac
