# Activating a Software Release

#### ***Applies to versions: v2.8 v2.9***

**Note: This procedure affects service**.

Once the new release version is installed, it is necessary to activate the new software version in the system.

**Warning:** **This procedure requires a restart of the Tmedia platforms and will affect service until the activation of the new software release is complete.**

1- Click **System** in the navigation panel.

2- Click **Activate** to begin the activation of the new release.

![Host Control Activate Package Activate A](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/6/60/Host_Control_Activate_Package_Activate_A.png)

* It will take a few minutes for the system to upgrade.

Note:

* You can verify the status of the upgrade by using the tool: [tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote](/tmedia-documentation/other-pages/other/how-to-use-tbx-cli-tools-remote-program.md) and selecting the tboamapp application.
* You can fallback to another release by carrying out the "Activate Release" action again from the web portal. If you do not have access to the Web Portal, follow [How To Fallback to an older Software Release](/tmedia-documentation/other-pages/operations/how-to-fallback-to-an-older-software-release.md).

### Accelerating the activation of a software release

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/web-portal-3-3/system/package-upgrade/activating-a-release.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
