[CetOS 6] Unavailable to update

Server Version#: CentOS 6.10
Player Version#:

Hi,

My mini server is running under CentOS 6.10.

It is impossible to update due to ‘systemctl’. Because CentOS uses ‘init.d’ and cannot override it.
How can I update latest version of Plex Media Server ?

I’m a Plex Pass User. I think it is unfair i cannot use latest version due to my old server.

init support was removed with 1.15.0 because distributions like Centos 6 did not contain the required glibc 2.14.1 version.

Since then, now in the release queue, is a universal installer version which supports both init and systemd systems.
