Installing applications on user computers is only a part of the job. After the installation, we need to keep the software and SQL tables up to date as fix and enhancements are released. To automate the update process, ADL has developed an Advanced Auto-Updater which checks over the Internet with the ADL Update Server for new software releases, fixes and updates .

If updates are available, the user is notified of the available updates and can use the Auto-Updater to download and install updates. The Auto-Updater handles patches, new software modules and update the SQL control tables. Easy to ensure that your users are always using the latest version of the software.

The Advanced Updater will be included as part of the next major software update.
