• No, epiCentre can update its database by itself. This has no effect on other databases on the same server, as it only has privileges to update its own database.
  

Can I update one computer and leave the rest?

• No, because the underlying structure of the epiCentre database changes. This means that older versions of epiCentre are no longer compatible with the new database. They will still be able to connect, but will cause data integrity issues. If, for whatever reason, you cannot update all the computers in a short period of time, please ensure that all users on the old version stop using epiCentre until they are updated. Please confirm with the relevant team that you have a complete list of machines with epiCentre installed to ensure that every installation gets updated.
