Microsoft Update "January Patch Day": New Patch versions available
The installation of the Microsoft Update "January Patch-Day" of January 4, 2018 has resulted in it no longer being possible to start some EPLAN products afterwards. All products that use the EPLAN License Manager or the EPLAN License Client were affected. In the meantime Microsoft has made updated versions of these available which make starting of the EPLAN products possible again.
