Open the downloaded “ePO_5.10.0_Update_10.zip” zipped file and run the “ePOUpdater.exe” program.

“Database Name“, “Database Server Name“, “Port Number” and “User Name” automatically appear on the screen that appears. We will only enter the user parameter that we use in the ePO database server. After entering the password, click the “Continue” button.
