Software:

ETS has licensed Oracle Calendar from Oracle. We suggest that you download and install this new version of the client software. Download the latest Oracle Calendar client from the UVM Software Archive: https://www.uvm.edu/software/

Upgrade Notes:

The procedure for upgrading the Oracle Calendar client is very similar to a new installation of the Oracle Calendar software.  This version is preconfigured, so the settings are provided above for verification or troubleshooting.

Oracle Calendar 10.1.1.02 software looks and behaves very similarly to Oracle Calendar 9..x.

• Oracle calendar will still be launched by navigating to All Programs->Oracle Calendar->Oracle Calendar in your Windows Start Menu...
  
  
• The icon for your Calendar client will continue to be a "blue calendar"...
  
• Any shortcuts you may have made to your older version of Oracle Calendar Client in the past may be broken.  If you click the old icon and Calendar does not open, delete the old icon. You must create new shortcuts from the Oracle Calendar Start Menu item.
