Sitecore Experience Platform 8.1 Update-1
Sitecore 8.1 is a comprehensive improvement across all of Sitecore Version 8.0 incorporating the feedback we’ve received since 8.0 was delivered from customers, analysts and implementation partners. Heavy investment in product quality, stability and usability can be found throughout 8.1 to help our customers take advantage of Context Marketing and engage in full brand experience management. For further details into the specific enhancements of 8.1, please see the Release Notes.
This page contains all the resources for Sitecore Experience Platform 8.1 rev. 151207 (8.1 Update-1).
Looking for a different version? See all available 8.0 and 8.1 versions.
Note: xDB Cloud support will follow approximately 6 weeks after the release of this update.
Sitecore 8.1 now requires a license with the “Sitecore.xDB.base” key to enable all features of the Experience Platform. If your license file does not contain this key, Sitecore will default to Experience Management (CMS-only) mode. Any customers or partners with a license to Experience Platform should contact their account manager or login to SPN if they are missing this key.
Sitecore Azure reduces costs and provides scalability and geographical load-balancing by automating the deployment of your Sitecore solution to the Microsoft Azure computing cloud.
This package fixes the Content Management / Delivery downtime issues that can occur if a connection string is requested when the xDB Cloud Discovery service is unavailable.
