• Sign up now to upgrade to Orchard Harvest LIS 8.5!

  Don’t Pass on this Upgrade and Fall Behind
  We encourage you to not let your Harvest LIS fall behind with upgrades. You will miss out on the advantages of the new features, and you also run the risk of not being current with upgrades incorporated for new regulatory issues. Finally, while upgrades are included at no cost with support, if you continue to pass on upgrades, it may cost you when the time comes for you to do so.  Not only may you need new hardware, but in order to bring your system up-to-date, it may require a site visit from an Orchard Systems Engineer, which is a cost not included for normal upgrades.

  First Come, First Served
  Sign up now to receive Harvest LIS 8.5! Upgrades will be scheduled in the order received, so submit your upgrade request now. Full release notes for Harvest LIS 8.5 are available in our Download Center.
