Checking for Software Updates Automatically

Workstation checks automatically to see if updates for the product are available. By default, it checks once a week, at the time you launch Workstation. You can check manually at any time by choosing Help > Check for Updates on the Web.

You can change the interval for the automatic check or switch to manual checks only. On the Workspace tab, select the interval in the Check for updates automatically drop-down list.

Note: Workstation checks for software updates only when you start the application. It does not automatically check for updates while the product is running, regardless of what you choose in the drop-down menu. You must have network access to receive updates.
