All releases prior to SP1 have been offloaded to this Archive-Page here! If you need to check for previous versions and/or information, you will find it there.

Note:
Service Pack 1 will be mandatory requirement for installing any subsequent SharePoint 2013 cumulative updates as the new baseline!
The SharePoint Server 2013 Packs are containing the Foundation Packs and may need only the Server package to be installed!

The Build number shown in your central admin -> servers in farm’s site is the version that comes from the configuration database (table dbo.versions). This does not necessarily match the Number outlined in the KB-articles.

Please see here for more information about the SharePoint Build versions and numbers:

If you want to be sure that you have installed the server CU you also can check it in Central Admin -> Upgrade and Migration -> Check product and patch installation status. This will show you the versions installed.

For SP1:
In order to determine if SP1 is installed for Office 2013 or a related product, look for the program version in the list of installed programs in the Programs and Features control panel. If SP1 is installed, the final (fixed) version will be 15.0.4571.1502 or higher. Additionally, if you’ve installed the SP1 update for an MSI product, SP1 will be listed in Installed Updates in that same control panel.

You can also use this PowerShell script to display version info for installed SharePoint product and language packs

=> Service Pack 1 for SharePoint and Office 2013

Important!

  • If your farm has been on a patch level lower than July 2015 CU: Unlike other CUs – after installing the August 2015 CU you need to run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.
    If you don’t run PSCONFIG after installing August 2015 CU (on a farm which had a lower patch level than July 2015 CU) crawl might no longer work – so ensure to schedule a maintenance window when installing this CU which includes PSCONFIG runs.
    => See here for detail: http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2015/07/15/important-psconfig-is-mandatory-for-July-2015-cu-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx
  • When you install the cumulative update on a single-server SharePoint farm or on SharePoint servers that include Search Service Application topology roles, you should follow the steps that are mentioned on the following Microsoft website: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=279911

Office Web Apps Server 2013:

NOTE!
As of  November, 24th, 2014 the Office Web Apps Server will be removed from the Microsoft Download Center.
At that time it will only be available for download under Volume Licensing agreements.
For more information please visit the site Volume Licensing Service Center.

To see which version of the OWA (also called the “Web Access Components” or “WAC”) use the following PowerShell:

  1. We installed SharePoint Server 2013 last April. Our version is at 15.0.4569.1506. I want to get patched and up to date on everything. Can I start with the September CU or do I need to go back further than that?

  4. 1)We have SP1 with Version No 15.0.4569.1000 . Do we need to first install Update Re-release or we can directly install September CU2014 … 2) We want to Install Chinese Language Pack . Do we need to install now after SP1 or updated SP1 ?

    Answer:you should first install the language pack SP1 and then re-apply the re-released SP1 for SharePoint. If it has some changes, it will install/update the previous pack, If it is the same or nothing to change it will tell you, that no updated needed.

  12. Hi Steve, I've deployed SP2013 with SP1 (downloaded that from my VLSC) before it was announced that SP1 contains a "feature" that may disable further updating. Would you suggest to re-install RTM version and CU/PU or rather wait for server package to fix my SP1?

  19. Hello Steve,
    We are in the same situation.
    support.microsoft.com tells 15.0.4551.1001 for the foundation package and 15.0.4551.1005 for the Server package which doesn't correspond to your build matrix.
    Then, after having installed the kb2825647 CUs, we have our build version set to 15.0.4551.1001. Do you have any idea?
    Is it possible than MS just mixed both 2825647 & 2825674…? can't be right?
    Many thanks in advance. Regards, Anthony

    the build 15.0.4554.1005 is the Server package. If your Central admin page Shows the 15.0.4551.1001 then ist the fondation uold only and you may have mistakenly mixed the kb's???
    Did you run the PSConfig wizard after each install?The Build number and Version shown in central admin site, under Servers in farm is retrieved from the DLL file version from the [Microsoft.SharePoint.dll], found in C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions15ISAPI
    Please double check again and repost if still having a mismatch in build numbers.

  22. Ok, so I have a standard version of Sharepoint 2013 and web apps on another server. When applying the October update, what update should I be applying on the web app server?
    Also, will the web app update be an issue with Exchange 2013 CU2?

  24. HI Steve,
    I successfully installed KB2825647 (the Server version), with KB2825674 (the Foundation version) installed right before, but the version reported by the farm in the end is 15.0.4551.1001 rather than 15.0.4554.1005. What am I missing? Could it be possible that 4551.1001 is the latest or the KBs should be installed in the reverse order – Server and then Foundation?

    Hi, for Project server, you need to install the march updates first, run PSConfig wiz, install then the august CU and rerun PSConfig wiz.
    For SharePoint, ontop of April CU just install the august CU.
    If you have office web apps, please install also the according updates there too.

    Hello Erin,
    you can apply any CU that has been released after the most recent Service Pack which is currently SP1.
    You have SP1 installed, hence you can go ahead and install one of the most recent CU’s being published yet to be all up to latest.

  33. Hello Raj,

    no, nothing wrong 🙂
    You might have installed the re-released SP1 which has that higher build number on the foundation part (see alos here:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/steve_chen/archive/2014/02/26/3623749.aspx).

    Depending on where you looked up the dll it can vary but as long as you have executed the PSConfig wizard after SP1 installed, you should be fine.

    The final proof of the correct build version is to check the config DB on table versions, this is the patchlevel of sharepoint that matters and what is displayed in central admin on Servers in Farm.

    More info on build numbers and why they may differe can be found on my post above as well.

  36. Hello shyam kanungo,
    sorry for late reply, Since SharePoint wasnt designed to be isntalled on a PC system, soem tweaks for developers were posted across the web to get it working on a PC as well. So SharePoint expects the Server OS Service Pack version which is the equivalent Service
    Pack on PC OS as described below:
    – The service packs for Server Operating systems are in correlation to the respective PC OS,

    – that means, SP2 for Server 2008 is linked to SP2 for Vista,
    – Server 2008 R2 SP1 is linked to Windows 7 and so on.
    Please check your PC OS and update it according to its latest SP level, then retry the SharePoint SP2 again – this should work then.

  39. Hi Khalil,
    thanks for your notice but it is the "foundation" packages (aka WSSv5) that are actually on 15.0.4505.1002.  
    The 15.0.4505.1005 is the server package. You can verify the correct file version from the  [Microsoft.SharePoint.dll], found in C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions15ISAPI
    If you go to your central admin page, servers-in-farm, here you'll see also the build version and finally you can verify it with a SQL query like this:
    use [sharepoint_configDB]
    select * FROM [sharepoint_configDB].[dbo].[Versions]
    The highest Number in column [Id] shows the actual version.

    I’m not sure what you mean with "two released CU … SP1 Pre Mark and SP1 Post Mark…." ???

    AFAIK, there is only one April CU package each (SharePoint server and SharePoint Foundation) as found in the respective KB articles from the table above.

    The mentioned Build version is the current SP1 and hence you are fine with it. There was an issue with SP! and maybe that confused you as SP1 hence were re-released, so just download the new and current bits from here: SP Server: KB 2880552; SP foundation:
    KB 2880551 and you’re good to go.

    For April 14 CU, you should wait or skip it unless you have a specified issue as outlined in the KB.
    If you mean with "bundled installation" a slipstreamed install source that includes SP1, then use only these media here:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2014/02/28/sharepoint-2013-with-sp1-quot-slipstream-quot-is-now-available-for-download.aspx

    SP1 covers all past CU’s up to but not including the April 14 CU. So its ok to have just SP1 for now. All later CU’s will containing any of the CU’s released after SP1, so no worries if you jump on a later one 😉

    Does that answers all your questions?

    Cheers, Steve

  46. @Sascha: The given Build number is the one that is stated in the respective KB article. The build Version shown in Central admin page is the the one that comes the config DB. Also the Version of the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll or the Microsoft.SharePoint.portal.dll was recently mostly the same. Now the DLLS can be any other inside the ISAPI Folder and it counts the highest Version of the files changed by the CU which is then presented in KB. So no worry, it is correct, that you have the 15.0.4551.1001 as it is not always the dll as mentioend above and can be differnt than what is seen on the KB. HtH, cheers, Steve

  49. Hi Velizar,

    you can try to install the update on top of September CU. if it si already there you will get a popup saying its not required. If it is not part of the sept. CU already, it will install. The Build in the KB is not necessarily the one you see in central admin,
    this is outlined above and may happen due to the file version overview listed in the KB as well.

    The purpose of this blog is to maintain the usual CU cycle and in some exceptions special patches, PU’s etc. that have direct dependencies to pre-/post- released CU’s – so it doesn’t claims to be fully accurate in ALL existing updates/hotfixes entirely.

    While each CU contains all previous fixes published, the most recent CU should be sufficient. A specific patch is only important and to be installed if the particular described issue of it is really affecting your farm.

    HtH, cheers, Steve

  50. Hi Neal,

    if you are already past the august CU build shown in your central admin, and you have installed the August fixes all as listed above, then all you can do further is waiting for the next following CU which would be the Sept. 2014 Cu yet and install that one
    on top. That should append the patch chain to the most recent bits.

    Cheers, Steve
