Sorry for the confusion. We hadn't released a new patch for EViews 8 SV in a long time and our certificate changed in between. I've modified our patch list to indicate the patch must be manually downloaded now.
If you run EV8SV again and try the update, it should inidicate this now and will offer to open the download link for you in a web browser. Click yes and the download will start. Once downloaded, start the patch manually -- remember to quit EViews 8 SV before running the patch.
Or you can go to our download page (
http://www.eviews.com/download/download.html) and download the 8SV patch manually.
