The amount of memory used by SoftwareCentral and the SoftwareCentral service has been reduced.

2017-11-10 - SoftwareCentral 5.4.1.0

Today we have published a minor release for SoftwareCentral.
It contains a few fixes and stability improvements.

HTA and Windows Authentication
Because of the issues with Windows Authentication and the Windows ADK 1703 and 1709, we now advice you to configure your HTA to run with anonymous authentication.
We have added a setting, so that the build-in login box will open with the HTA, to give the same experience as with Windows Authentication.

Shop
It is now possible to shop for primary devices instead of just the device the user is logged in to.
We have added a primary device picker, so users can choose the device they are shopping to from a list of their primary devices.
The default behavior of the shop has not changed. You must enable this from the settings menu.

2017-09-22 - SoftwareCentral 5.4.0.0

The last version of SoftwareCentral has been judged by our customers as one of our best and most stable releases. More than 90 % of all installations has been updated to 5.3 and there has been very few issues.
Version 5.4 of SoftwareCentral improves on the functionality from version 5.3. Version 5.4 does not contain any new functionality, but is rather a steady evolution of SoftwareCentral.
SoftwareCentral 5.4 requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 to be installed on the servers hosting SoftwareCentral.
You must install the new version of the framework before you update SoftwareCentral.

Download the framework from Microsoft here.

Note that the installation of the .NET framework may require a server restart.

2017-09-22 - SoftwareCentral 5.3.4.0 will remain available

Because SoftwareCentral 5.4 requries Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7, SoftwareCentral 5.3.4.0 will remain available.
Download SoftwareCentral 5.3.4.0 here.

2017-09-04 - SoftwareCentral 5.3.4.0 - Security Alert

This version of SoftwareCentral fixes an issue with the third-party controls used by SoftwareCentral that puts SoftwareCentral at risk for arbitrary file uploads to the server and/or remote code execution.
We have investigated and addressed this issue, and, as we consider the vulnerability critical, we strongly recommend you to update SoftwareCentral to version 5.3.4.0 as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

2017-09-01 - SoftwareCentral 5.4 - Changed requirements

The upcomming version of SoftwareCentral, scheduled for late Q3 2017, will require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 can be installed on servers running any previous versions of SoftwareCentral.

2017-08-01 - SCCM 1706

SoftwareCentral versions 5.3 and above has been verified on SCCM 1706.

Windows ADK 1703 and HTA issue

Boot images created with the Windows ADK 1703 may experience problems with the SoftwareCentral HTA if the HTA is configured to use Windows Authentication.
The problem in the HTA is caused by an issue in the Windows ADK.
To resolve this issue, you may use the ADK 1607 or you can change the SoftwareCentral HTA to use Anonymous Authentication.
You can read more here on how to configure the HTA with Anonymous Authentication.
