Allplan update settings dialog box

You can use the Allplan update settings dialog box to specify whether and how Allplan finds and installs updates. This way, you can make sure that the latest Allplan version is always installed. All users can see this dialog box. However, specific settings may not be available if the Allplan administrator has already made definitions.

How to open the dialog box

Download and install updates (recommended)

Allplan automatically looks for new updates if the computer is online. If there is a new update, Allplan downloads it automatically. You can then install the update the next time you start Allplan.

Do not allow workgroup users without admin privileges to look for updates (only for administrators)

If this option is selected, users who are not Allplan administrators cannot download updates. In this case, only the Allplan administrator can install updates by clicking Distribute.

Find now

When you click Find now, Allplan checks whether new updates are available. If there is a new update, you can decide whether you want to download it or not. You can then install the update the next time you start Allplan.

Update history

Informs you of the updates that have been installed on this computer.

Distribute (only for administrators)

By clicking this button, the Allplan administrator moves the update downloaded to the \Updates folder, making it available to all the users in the workgroup. Users can then install the update the next time they start Allplan.
