Update question

Can anyone answer this please? I was one of the lucky ones who got through to the tech (thank you Felix) who ran the data utility file.  I have not yet loaded the Sage 2025.1 yet. We still cannot log in with 2 users, so am running the file in read only - just need the information at the moment. My other user is posting December 24 and needs to be in the file. Her posts give my email and her name in brackets (she is in multi user. I added another user with a different email so hope that will work to allow us both in. Have not tried it yet.

So, if the data utility has been run, should we still install the update? Just want to make sure that we do not create another problem. This certainly has been one of the difficult year-ends, since I started working with Sage in 20 years.  Sage, I would be grateful if you could answer my question - thank you.
