The "BV Commerce 2026 - SP1 upgrade" download is intended for stores that are running BVC 2026 and contains only the files that were modified between 2026 and 2026 SP1. While you could use either download to apply the service pack, the upgrade download will save time considerable since it only contains the changed files. [More]
