Why upgrade OnBase?

OnBase upgrades provide new functionality, software corrections, security enhancements and compliance updates. Foundation 24.1 is the annual release for 2024.

What actions will I need to take for the upgrade?

  • End users will need to accept the prompt to install the new version if using any desktop clients. No action is necessary if using the web client. 
  • Departmental Certified Administrators will need to assist in testing their solutions. Once the upgrade is done in production, admins will also need to install the new version of the OnBase Thick client, Configuration, OnBase Studio and/or OnBase Unity Management Console. Please refer to the OnBase Training page for these installers. You can install the updates over any existing installs.

OnBase will be unavailable for a few hours during the upgrade, likely available by the afternoon of October 19, 2025.

How often are upgrades provided for OnBase?
