Do you need to install all the updates in sequence, or you can go directly from 2330 to 2504?.
Passing from 2330 directly to 2504, does CL ensures that all updates are installed from build 2330 to 2504?

I have install on January build 2504 directly from build 2330 and have to report some 2504 issues to CLTS, that doesn’t appear on 2330 and nobody else have, and some how have to be whit 2330A.

I asked this same question after I jumped from the downloaded version directly to the latest update and experienced problems.

I was told by forum members that the updates are cumulative, so you can go directly to the latest update. However, since I had a problem the first time I tried that, I opted to perform each update individually in sequence, and have had absolutely no issues with PD9 since. One piece of advice though is to set a system restore point before applying the updates.

That is correct. The latest update included ALL previous patches. As for release 2504, yes there have been various problems reported (just search for them) including some from me. However, after doing some system cleaning my PD9-2504 is now running well, but not as well as PD8 did. The trade-off is more editing power in PD9. Just take care with transitions, which from what I've seen so far (but have yet to prove it) may be one of the little demons. And low powered PC and graphics cards are another growing issue as well.
