Users running JMARS older than 5.7.0 need to manually update

Action Required: Update JMARS to Continue Using It

Users running JMARS versions older than 5.7.0 may be unable to start the application and may see a message reporting a connectivity problem. This is caused by a recent server security certificate update that older versions of JMARS are not able to accept.

What you need to do:
Download and install the latest version of JMARS from the JMARS website (https://jmars.mars.asu.edu). Because affected versions cannot reach the in-app "Check for Updates" feature, the update must be downloaded manually.

Once the latest version is installed, JMARS will connect normally. Installing in the same directory as the currently installed version is fine. Your existing settings and data are not affected.

If you continue to have problems after updating, please contact us at help@jmars.asu.edu.
