Client update

Client Update is a program that handles application updates via network. It is designed as a wizard with three steps: search for updates, download, and installation. It has four icons, each describing different status. One of these icons is always visible in the task bar.

When the Client Update tool is started, it is possible to select and download available updates. After the updates are downloaded they must be manually installed. You can select automatic installation of the updates. The installation will start as soon as the updates have been downloaded.

Note: It is important to close Tech Tool before starting the installation of updates.
