Important!
Due to changes in reservation buffering, preferences, orders, and other areas, once a data file has been moved up to 5.44, it cannot be downgraded to 5.43. Therefore, it is essential that all customers archive or back up prior to upgrading to 5.44. All reservations, preferences and orders should be checked after updating to ensure that your information is correct and that no additional changes due to new preferences and enhancements are needed.
