# Update
In this article, you will find out how to successfully update Lagom WHMCS Client Theme. We will guide you step by step through the whole update process.
# Product Requirements
Below is a list of requirements for latest product version:
- Requires IonCube Loader 10.x and later.
- Supports PHP 7.2.x and later.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting to a minimum of 300 seconds during the installation or update of this product. Once the installation or upgrade process is complete, you can reset the server timeout to its default value.
During the initial activation of our product, the addon creates all necessary databases and loads the required configuration. If this process is interrupted due to insufficient "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) duration, our addon may not function correctly or may not work at all. This could result in missing features or errors related to missing databases on your WHMCS pages.
If the server interrupts the addon activation, you may need to deactivate the RS Themes addon using the "Clear Database Records" option and then activate it again. However, it is strongly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting before performing this action.
# Before You Begin
- IMPORTANT - Ensure that the Lagom WHMCS Client Theme version, which you would like to install, is compatible with your WHMCS installation! Check the compatibility list here.
- We are continuously striving for excellence in testing all our new releases, however, we strongly recommend giving our product a try on your WHMCS installation before activating it. You can preview the installed theme by clicking the "Live Preview" button as presented below.
- If you have ordered the Basic or Advanced integration from the RS Studio team, then please make sure that these packages have been updated. What is important, we need 16-32 business days to update customized packages for all our customers. The version of the customized package needs to be the same as the latest theme release, otherwise, your custom package has not been updated yet.
- IMPORTANT - Make a full backup of your WHMCS server and database.
