Allplan update

You can configure Allplan to install updates (hotfixes and service releases) automatically. This way, you can make sure that the latest version is always available to you. The automatic update tool works with major service releases, minor hotfixes and updated help files.

You can download and install Allplan updates in several ways:

• Updates can be downloaded and installed fully automatically.
• Updates can be downloaded automatically and installed manually (this is the default setting).
• Updates can be downloaded manually and installed manually.

The settings are computer-specific and independent of the user who has logged on to this computer. However, each user change the settings. With a workgroup installation, the Allplan administrator can define or restrict specific settings for all the computers within this workgroup. In this case, 'normal' Allplan users cannot change the settings. The Allplan administrator can also force the installation of updates by distributing downloaded updates to all the computers within the workgroup.

Notes

• An anti-virus program or firewall software installed on your computer can prevent the download or installation of update packages. You may need to configure these programs so that they do not block these operations.
• If your computer is connected to the Internet using a proxy server, files that are important for automatic updates may be stored temporarily. As a result, the program may not find the latest version of theses files during the download operation, and consequently, the automatic update will not work. To prevent this, you need to exclude the website from which automatic updates are downloaded from buffering. You can find the address of this website in the \Etc\AutoUpdate.cfg file.
