What Happened to Auto-update?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I've haven't been using Footprint Expert recently. Been on vacation, the holidays, waiting for the end of the world, etc.... But I noticed that with update 37 not only did I have the latest version but I also now had "Footprint Expert Lite" and that the FPX AutoUpdate folder was now empty. 
I assumed that it would now search for updates on it own and update itself. Apparently I was wrong.  So now how do I update to the latest revision?

	Auto-update is undergoing changes right now. For Update Notifications, go to this forum - http://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/version-history_forum1.html# Select "Forum Options > "Watch this Forum" (upper right corner) There is an update every week and the current release is V2012.38. There will be 2 more releases for the V2012 series .39 and .40. On February 1, 2013 we will release V2013.01. The new version requires a HASP USB key and a small update charge (30% of the list price + $50 for a USB key if you don't have one yet). After February 1, 2013, there will be no further updates to V2012. This is one of the reasons why Auto-update has been disabled.

	Thanks Tom. Is the downloaded file a full install or just an update?
	My regards, Steve Smith

	It's a full install. The AutoUpdate folder you can delete, it's a remnant folder from a previous version that is no longer used.
