Notes:
1. From a functional standpoint, AppleShare 4.0.1 is identical to AppleShare 4.0.2 for 68040-based Macintosh computers. There is no need to upgrade AppleShare 4.0.1 to AppleShare 4.0.2. The only differences between these versions are the version number itself, and that AppleShare 4.0.2 was available in a complete retail package, while AppleShare 4.0.1 is available as a tune-up only requiring installation over an existing copy of AppleShare 4.0.
2. If you have a Workgroup Server 95, do not upgrade to System 7.5 or later. A Workgroup Server 95 with A/UX only works with System 7.0.1 and System 7 Tune-Up 1.1.1.
3. AppleShare 4.0.2 for Power Macintosh is no longer sold separately.
4. AppleShare Client 3.8.6 requires Keychain, which is part of Mac OS 9, to save name and password for auto-mounting volumes at system startup time. Mac OS 8.1 through 8.6 users who rely on this feature may wish to use AppleShare Client 3.8.3 instead. Before doing so, please see article 25038:
"Mac OS 8.6: Cannot Save AppleShare Log-On Password"
for known limitations and other alternatives.
5. Macintosh computers running Mac OS 9.0.4 with Mac OS ROM 4.6 and later require the ASIP Agent Update 6.3.2 available at:
http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11798
.
6. AppleShare IP 6.3.3 provides compatibility for dual-processor Power Mac G4 computers but does not provide multiprocessing performance enhancement.
Updates for AppleShare are available from Apple Software Updates at:
