3.4     Automatic update

If you have Governikus DATA Boreum with automatic update Governikus DATA Boreum checks on every start whether a more recent version exists. It connects to the update server to check whether a newer version exists or not. If a newer version exists it is shown by a dialog page, otherwise Governikus DATA Boreum starts without further messages.

If a newer version exists you can decide by the buttons of the dialog window how to proceed.

·     Yes: If you select "Yes" the new version is installed.

·     Not now: If you select "Not now" Governikus DATA Boreum is started without installing the new version. On the next start you are again asked whether you want to install the new version.

·     No: If you select "No" Governikus DATA Boreum is started without installing the new version. On succeeding starts you are no longer asked to install this particular new version. Only if this new version has a successor version you are again asked to install a new version.

The following figure shows the update dialog with example versions.
