rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Good morning, Happy Friday Everyone! The RM User Group museum are once again reaching out to ask for something that may well be hidden in them dark store cupboards. We are wondering if any early CC4 schools, have kept their installation media for CC4 Service Release 1 and 2? This is something we are having great difficulty obtaining, which even RM directly don't have these anymore. Service Release 1 consisted of: CC4 Service Release 1 Forest Root CD CC4 Service Release 1 Additional Server CD CC4 Service Release 1 Station Build Update DVD 1 CC4 Service Release 1 Station Build Update DVD 2 Service Release 2 consisted of: CC4 Service Release 2 Forest Root CD CC4 Service Release 2 Replica and Member Servers CD CC4 Service Release 2 Computer Build Update DVD 1 CC4 Service Release 2 Computer Build Update DVD 2 We would be more than grateful if anyone still has these and could donate us a digital copy for our museum. RM have been very kind in donating software updates and what they could grab from their archive, however some of the products where CD/DVD only, and the only ones that still exist are potentially still in store cupboards! Best regards James RM User Group
rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 I forgot to mention on this post, its quite possible they are stored in what was the "CC4 Network Binder", the instructions stated to store these in a safe place such as the Network Binder. James RM User Group
dgsmith Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I have the memories of upgrading our CC3 network to CC4 back when it first came out and everything that came afterwards.. i'll pay you to take those from me! Most (perhaps all, or anything meaningful) of our remaining CC4 relics I removed from my working quarters in the summer, having held on to them for no apparent reason over the years!
rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 We are lucky enough to have been donated the CC3 to CC4 Upgrade Discs (Just missing the Additional Server and Post Install CD), so we got the full experience of running the upgrade! This is why we are looking for SR1 and SR2 to remove many of the bugs in early CC4. That's a shame about clearing out, although you did hold on to them for some time.

msi_school Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I don't have the CDs I think I chucked them last August but I d have the CC4 Network Operations and reference manual still in cellophane and a hardly used RM tutor manual if you are interested. 1

rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Ah that is a shame, it seems everyone has recently cleared out these CDs. We actually do have the Network Operations and Reference Manual, as well as several manuals for RM Tutor but thank you very much for the offer, much appreciated.

rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 I have heard so many stories of early CC4, and how unstable the product was. CC4 seemed more functional once SR2 was released, but I am lucky I never touched CC4 in the early days on a live network. I shared that pain with you
Ratcliffepg Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I had the pain of going from reliable cc3 to cc4.... happy days..... and the joy of installing cc4 service packs..... !!
dcwhitworth Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Sadly we ditched all our stuff a while back. We intentionally waited a year after CC4 was released before migrating and it definitely paid off. CC4 was in principle a good product but it was released too early (RM admitted as much afterwards) and their original migration process was flawed in my opinion. The only option they offered was in place upgrade of CC3 servers. We got new CC4 servers and migrated our data and users across. More pain initially but a cleaner system and it paid off.

Thanks Luke 1
rmusergroup Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Hi Luke, This is amazing! Could I get an image of these discs using something like PowerISO? We have the CC3 to CC4 Upgrade Discs, except the Additional Server and Post Install CD. I am so glad someone has Service Release 2, at least that is 1 off the list, just need to find SR1 now. Feel free to PM me. Thank you so much!

rmusergroup Posted February 15, 2023 Author Posted February 15, 2023 Just bumping this thread to see if anyone else has these CD's or in fact any for CC4? Hoping someone is having a clear out this half term
rmusergroup Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 We have managed to find the Service Release 2 Forest Root CD, but only 1 CD out of the 4 included in SR2. I know its a long shot but if anyone does have the SR1 / SR2 media, it would be greatly appreciated. Best regards James Just bumping this thread to see if anyone else has these CD's or in fact any for CC4? Hoping someone is having a clear out this half term
davipton Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Hi, I've tried to send a PM back to you to confirm that I do have the SR1 CDs and DVDs, plus the installation notes. Regards, David 1

rmusergroup Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 RM System base AX server available.... Hi there, where are you located please? PM if you prefer. Regards Chris
ajs Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 It's possible I have some old copies of the media stored somewhere from when my employer used to work closely with RM, I'll have a look but please remind me in a week or two if I haven't got back to you.
rmusergroup Posted March 28, 2023 Author Posted March 28, 2023 That would be very much appreciated. Regards Chris
