Hi, Ralls. The 25.3.72 year-end update will  not require updating your data if you are updating from version 25.2. This is intentional to make updating easier for year-end.

Updating from version 25.1 and lower will require updating the data. 

Okay  great, thank you for the clarification!

Thank you Ghollister, I appreciate you posting the answer.

It didn't make it easier for me, I had been trying to get it to upgrade for 30 minutes, including looking in the release notes for known issues. I came here to see if it was a common problem, but think most of us who have used the program for many years think something is wrong when it doesn't perform as it always has. :/
