Automatic update of editors
Do you have an active Internet connection on your development computer? You can automatically download the different editor updates (WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile) thanks to "Automatic update". This mechanism studies your computer to find the PC SOFT products to upgrade and provides a list of available upgrades according to your configuration. This allows you to always use the most recent version of the PC SOFT products. No personal information is sent to the server. This mechanism is optional, it can be disabled at any time. You still have the ability to visit the PC SOFT Web site and to manually download the upgrades available for your PC SOFT products. Finding updates The search for updates can be run manually or automatically whenever a PC SOFT product is started. This search is performed by WDAutomaticUpdate. WDAutomaticUpdate performs the following actions: - Connect to the PC SOFT Web site to retrieve the characteristics of the available updates (connection by FTP). No information regarding the current computer (serial number, name of the software used or personal details) is sent to the server. Only the IP address of the computer is known by the server.
- Compare the versions of the PC SOFT products installed on the computer with the versions available on the PC SOFT Web site. Propose to download the upgraded versions (if any).
- Download and install the upgraded versions of the products.
The mechanism used to find updates can be run: - Automatically when the different PC SOFT products are started (default option). This automatic mechanism can be disabled at any time.
