EViews 12 Patch Installer
To determine if your installed EViews is out-of-date, you can compare the "build date" of your version of EViews with those posted below. Your version's build date is displayed when you select About EViews... from the EViews Help Menu.
The EViews 12 update executable may be used to update your currently installed EViews 12 to the most recent shipping version. The update installer will not run unless you already have EViews 12 installed on your machine.
In most cases, the easiest way to update your EViews 12 License is to simply click on Help->EViews Update.
Current Update
- Fixed a crash during estimation that could be triggered by taking the log of a non-positive number.
- Corrected a deficiency in linearity detection used internally during threshold regression when regressors are of significantly differing magnitudes.
- Corrected an improper application of the model solution convergence criteria in models contain leads with negative valued series.
