That way, you can choose to only install part of SWTOR. For example, if you install the products `assets_swtor_main` and `assets_swtor_en_us`, you only have the English-language live client files and no other languages and no PTS. -- __`release`__: Colloquially, this is known as a “patch” or “Game Update”. For example, release `264` in product `assets_swtor_main` refers to Game Update 5.2.0. However, not every release can be mapped to a “patch”; sometimes there are multiple releases between two actual “patches”, e.g. because of build errors or because they need to add a hotfix via another release before the “patch” can be pushed to the live servers. A release is always an integer starting at `0`. -- __`patch`__: In the SSN sense, a patch refers to the difference between two releases. For example, `263to264` is a patch that can be used to update a product from release `263` to release `264`. The first number is called `from` while the second number is `to`. In order to install a patch, the release given in the `from` number must already be installed on your disk, with one exception: If the `from` number is `-1`, e.g. in patch `-1to0`, the patch does not store the differences but it has full file contents to allow for a fresh install. +- __`release`__: Colloquially, this is known as a “patch” or “Game Update”.

For example, the live environment (`swtor`) has products like `assets_swtor_main` while the PTS environment (`publictest`) has `assets_swtor_test_main`. - __`manifest`__: Each product has a manifest, a single file that lists all releases and all patches, and specifies which release is the current release (that the launcher must install).
