Client update

Client Update is a program handling updates of applications via network. It is designed as a wizard in 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 taskbar.

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

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