Updates Tab

Users can now "subscribe" to notifications of updates.

By Default, this option is not selected for end-user serial numbers

The check is stored in the registry and it applies to this Windows user on this computer.

If selected, when starting Sage it will check if there are product updates available for Extender

If there is a new update, and the user hasn't previously been notified of it, then the Options screen will open automatically on the Updates tab and display details of the new updates.

Tip: The “administrator” or “super user” or “owner” of Sage 300 should have this option turned on. All other users should have it turned off.

You can use "Check for Updates" button to view the list of new features and fixes.

To facilitate support, please include the Version and Product Updates you are running when reporting any issues.
