Installing Interplay Media Services Client Updater for
Interplay Access
The Media Services Client Updater installer is useful if you want to use older versions of
Interplay Access in an Interplay v2.x environment. The Client Updater updates the Media
Services-related files used by Access and allows the older version of Access to use the Media
Services features. However, on the systems with Access v1.5.x or v1.6.x, you won’t be able to
use some of the new Interplay Media Services v2.x features or the Interplay Access v2.0
features, such as playing clips from anywhere in a wide-area network (WAN) through the
Interplay Streaming server.

The Client Updater only supports Interplay Access v1.5.x and v1.6.x. If you install or upgrade
Interplay Media Services clients with Interplay Access v2.x, you must upgrade the Media
Services Engine to v2.x.
The most common example of using an older version of Access occurs when you need to run
older versions of the Avid editing applications in your Interplay environment. Each editor
version is qualified with a particular version of Interplay Access. For example, you can run
Media Composer v4.0 and Media Composer v3.5 on different systems in an Interplay v2.0
environment. However, Media Composer v3.5 requires a particular version of Access, in this
case, Interplay Access v1.6. In this example you would run the Client Updater on the Interplay
Access v1.6 system. Note that the Interplay Readme has a table that matches qualified releases of
the editing applications and Interplay.

The original files are saved during the update. If you uninstall the Avid Interplay Media Services
Client Updater for Access, the original files are restored.
For information about preservation and batch updating of existing profiles, see the Avid Interplay
Media Services Setup and User’s Guide.
