No more beta status, no more expiry date.
If you are updating an existing (pre 6.20) service with this new client, you
must remove the existing service
first as the new service management code is incompatible with previous versions.
Windows Vista does not support installing the GPU client as a service, and if you try, the service will fail to start correctly.
