Existing Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 clients can upgrade from the following versions to 9.1 Q2 2019 CU1 (Build:3700.0.1-rel.29+a963bd8)
If you are a self-hosted client on a Blackboard Learn 9.1 release prior to Q2 2018 you will need to upgrade to at least 9.1 Q2 2018 before you can upgrade to Learn 9.1 Q2 2019 CU1.
