Solution Snapshot site
Independent Software Vendors (ISV) provide clients with a single platform to manage e-discovery needs. One of those needs is to make sure that everything is compatible with your Relativity version. The Solution Snapshot site helps ISVs keep track of their applications’ compatibility. Within the Solution Snapshot site, users can add applications, RAP files, installation documentation, and compatibility information, which allows your clients to automatically get the installed applications' compatibility information and to update their applications, if an update is available.
For the latest Solution Snapshot, see Solution Snapshot 4.2.5.0.

Keys
An instance key is a unique identifier for a Relativity instance. It gives permission to upgrade an application in Relativity. A key in Solution Snapshot allows a user to upgrade the RAP file for the applicable application version from the Solution Snapshot site. The user will obtain this instance key from their Instance Key tab in the Solution Snapshot RAP application. The Solution Snapshot RAP users should then reach out to your team with their Instance Key in order to set themselves up for upgrading.
View the list of applications and the number of keys for each application on the Keys page. Click on one of the application’s name to view the previously created instance keys.
When adding an instance key, you need to complete the following three fields:
-
Name – enter the name of the instance key.
-
Key – enter the instance key provided by the end user of the RAP file. The client must send an instance key for each individual instance for the developer to add to the list.
-
Description – enter a description that distinguishes this application’s key from the rest.
