Which version of SpectraLayers 11 to install and use, 11.0.60 or 11.0.60.405?

I had previously installed SL 11.0.60.405 from a link Robin provided in one of these threads. Now, SL 11.0.60 is released. Should I remove the .405 version and install the 11.0.60 version, or just keep the 11.0.60.405?

thanks for any advice

Great question. I did the same. I did not remove the previous version. Just installed the “new” one.

Et voila, the same version as before…

Is this how it is supposed to be?

The version SL “11.0.60” on general release today in the SDA is 11.0.60.405 (i.e. the same) according to the Help | About dialog.

Thx much!!

I saw that the ‘about’ dialogue contained the .405 version as well. I will keep this one for now!

Thx!

Hi, please use the official 11.0.60 update patch from the Steinberg Download Assistant or under our Download page. Thanks!

Hi, I did use the official Steinberg Download Assistent.

So which is the most up-to-date version? Is it “11.0.60 Build 405” or some further number?

That’s the installed version

Hi, the version which is available from SDA is the one which is up to date.

Hi,
so, “11.0.60 Build 405” is the up-to-date version?

Than nothing has changed after 09th of january 2025, correct?

Hi, this is the latest version and should be used.
cheers

If I have 11.0.60 Build 405 installed, will installing the most recent 11.0.60 replace it? Or will the install program consider the ‘ 11.0.60 Build 405’ the latest and not install over it? In that case it seems I would have to delete the ‘ 11.0.60 Build 405’ version, then install the new 11.0.60 version.

Thx!

Hi, yes the best way here is just to run the SDA and then to download and install the 11.0.60 version from there.

cheers
Kay

Still no conclusive answer: What is the version number? 405 or not?

As already mentioned, the version from SDA is the one which is officially announced and with latest build number here 405.

I can confirm that on my system, installing 11.0.60 shows that build 405 has been installed. I uninstalled the SL 11 I had, then reinstalled it through the SDA. I did notice that the previous SL 11.0.6.405 installer was 1,559,148 KB, and the ‘newer’ SL 11.0.60 through the SDA is 1,559,118. Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t notice those things!!

Now let us see how this works.

… welcome to the club.

@balinas3000 before you become too obsessed with this, the small size difference is due to the unofficial installer being “Robin Lobel” signed, while the official installer is “Steinberg” signed :slight_smile:

I sincerely avoid using the SDA whenever possible as it starts you back at zero and then sends you on an update path…no thanks

Personally, I’m still running 11.0.40 build 395…11.0.05 was causing massive glitches for me…I have been out of doing audio work for a few weeks…getting back into it today

I always go directly to the Steinberg updates pages for SL…I mean here:
https://o.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads.html

further, I hold onto to old versions in the event I need to roll back
