<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Managing application and database (ControlPanelStd) > Update check

You can use ‘Update check’ to check if there is a program update available. If there is a newer version, you can download and install it here.

 

If you use a local database updating is not required. Click on Update check to check if a new version is available.

When using a local database, you can setup to be weekly notified to execute an update check. Go to Maintenance and settings | Settings | Update check to enable or disable the weekly update check. The update check will only be executed for administrators.

 

If you use the cloud an update check will be done automatically at start up of the program and the update needs to be installed directly.

 

Update is being installed by?

Installing an update can only be performed by 1 person. During installation a temporary file will be created in the application folder. This file contains some information about the person who is performing the update. When the update is completed the temporary file will be deleted. In some rare cases deletion of this file fails and a second person who tries to install the update will get a warning message that someone else is already busy installing the update. If the warning message is incorrect, you can delete the file TimeWriterV5\lib\UpdateSemaphore.
