The August 2014 Cumulative Update for SharePoint 2013 contains numerous hotfixes and improvements for SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013. The cumulative update package is multilingual and contains updates for all languages. It’s rather a bunch of hotfixes than a «Cumulative Update». That’s why you should read the «Before you start» section carefully.

Before you start
Since June 2014 the Cumulative Updates for SharePoint products releases on a monthly basis!
Because this in not a typical CU but rather a bunch of hotfixes, this CU does not include any previously released updates or fixes. It is strongly recommended to install the Service Pack 1 and July 2014 Cumulative Update first. You also have to install the SharePoint Foundation hotfixes first!

  • Download all SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server packages.
  • Extract the previously downloaded files with a double-click.
