Schedule upgrades and patches
In ARIS Cloud Enterprise, you have several upgrade and patch (update) options.
An upgrade typically contains new features, technical improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. When you upgrade your system, the release version changes.
From May 2025, the general ARIS release numbering scheme is 10.{year}.{month}.{build}. For example, if you upgrade ARIS version 10.2025.5, the release version number may change to 10.2025.6.
A patch (update) provides your system with security updates and bug fixes. Applying a patch does not change the release version. Only the build number added to the version changes. For example, if you patch ARIS version 10.2025.5.123, the build number may change to 10.2025.5.124.
In ARIS Enterprise, you can decide when to upgrade your system or apply the latest patch (update). By default, ARIS Enterprise systems are upgraded twice a year, typically in April and October (subject to change). However, if you want to receive new features and the latest patches more frequently, you can choose to upgrade your system on a monthly basis. You also have the option to receive the latest patches on a weekly basis without upgrading your system.
