By means of the Update Manager you can perform software updates at regular intervals. It is possible to let ARCWAY Cockpit search for updates automatically. You can also use the Update Manager to install new features or modules that are not contained in the standard installation.
To check to see whether there are updates for a product's installed features you need to complete the following steps:
(Requires Internet access)
Click Help > Check for Updates in the main menu. This will contact the update repositories associated with the product's features as well as the connected cockpit servers to discover what versions of those features are available. The potential updates are presented in on the next page.
Select the feature versions that you wish to upgrade, and click Next. Please note that not every mix of features in arbitrary versions results in a working configuration. Hence it is usually required (and recommended) to install all of the proposed updates..
After that a confirmation Dialog will be shown. It lists the selected features and indicates potential problems that may exist after applying the selected updates:
Confirm the updates by clicking Next.
4. Carefully review the license agreements for the updated features. If the terms of all these licenses are acceptable, check I accept the terms in the license agreements. Features with not accepted license agreements can not be installed.
Feature versions can be digitally signed by the company that
provides them. This allows you to verify more easily that the features
and plug-ins that are about to be downloaded and installed are coming
from a trusted supplier.
Warning: Because of the possibility
of harmful or even malicious plug-ins, you should only download features
from parties that you trust. Features that are digitally signed by ARCWAY
are always trustworthy.
Click OK to allow the downloading and installing to proceed.
