Update Function

With EPE's update facility it is easy to update your application without having to reinstall each time a new version is released. If you registered your email address with us when you downloaded EPE then we will keep you informed of new updates. If you didn't register then you will need to check yourself from time to time.

To begin the update process click :
Help->Update

This connects to the update server, which will show new releases compatible with your current version:

Select the feature you wish to update and click Next. This opens the license agreement, which you must agree to:
licence agreement

Click Next and click Finish on the final page:
install location

Before the installation begins you will get a warning that the download is not signed:
unsigned jar warning -can ignore

This warning can be ignored.

Finally, let EPE restart and you should see the new version installed. You can check this by clicking:
Help->About and clicking the Feature information button. You should see the new feature version displayed.

Managing updates
If an update is not working properly you can return to a previous version by clicking
Help->Manage Updates which opens the following dialog:

In this dialog the left hand window shows the features you have installed while the right hand window gives you management options.
If you click 'Replace with another version' you can return to a previous version of EPE. This is at present the only option available in EPE but as more features become available you will be able to disable or enable them as you choose.
