SD+ 7 Hotfix
Is there a place that hot fixes for SD 7 are or will be located? I found 7001 digging through the forums. Was wondering if there is a dedicated download link that we could check to see when new one are out so we don't have to dig through hundreds of posts. I think it would be better to have a separate SD6 and SD7 site / forums.

Multiple instance of SD+
Hi guys Love using your products, keep up the good work. Our end users love the product so much we are getting almost weekly requests to see if we can setup their own SD+ instance to suit their needs. Only problem is that we dont want them to use our instance as this will screw up our stats and job flow. For example, we use it as a IT Service Desk application. Another team wants to use it to keep track of building maintenance tasks. Another team wants to use it to monitor non IT purchase tasks? Each

mysql database

Regular users can't select a Category (option is missing)
I just took over administration of our ServiceDesk install and recently updated to build 6012. I'm a bit confused by something: As a technician, I can select any of our pre-defined categories and sub-categories, but if a regular user logs into the system the New Request form only contains the following fields: Name * Workstation ID Sub Category Item Subject * Description Is there an option I need to tweak somewhere to allow a user to select a category for their request, or is there something wrong

After the scan had finished, knowing that the machine I deleted has an object in ADS, the machine
