A 30 day demo license is available for Watch or Cohort by contacting Saiga Systems directly. Current users should note that the license key used for previous version(s) of Watch or Cohort will need to be replaced by a current license which must be loaded before running Watch V6.0; your existing license will not work. Please contact us directly to obtain a license for this version if you don't already have one. However, this license will not interfere with existing license(s) if you plan to run a mixture of Cohort V2 and Cohort V3 modules.

Patches
The following patch files were released on November 15, 2000. They can be applied to any installation of Watch V6. The zip file of the patches includes detailed instructions on how to apply the patches; please copy the zip file to your VAX or AXP, unzip it under OpenVMS and then follow the instructions in the patches.txt file. If you downloaded Watch Version 6.0 after November 15, 2000, it is not necessary to apply the patches after installation - they are included in the distribution. After installation or applying the current patches Watch /version should return V6.0.1-0500. Patches are not currently available to update Watch to V6.0.3-0503; sites wishing to upgrade to this version should download and install the complete kit from the links near the top of this page.
