Engineering Special (ES)

server and/or client fixes. Always install an ES on the same server as the CAD base
services for automatic updates to work. An ES is tied to a specific version of the base
release and/or Maintenance Release (MR). If the ES contains no fixes for the desktop
clients, automated updates do not run.
