Updating the Peer Management Center

You can easily check for updates to the Peer Management Center and install minor releases.  Minor releases can be automatically downloaded and installed.  Major releases require a new license key and must be requested from Peer Software Support.

You can also configure the Peer Management Center to automatically check for updates and download the updates.  For more information, see Installation Updates.

To check for updates:

1.From the Help menu, select Check for Updates.

The Check for Updates dialog appears.  If a minor update is available, the dialog identifies the new version (and your current version) and provides a link to the release notes.  If a major update is available, the dialog presents a link to an information page on the Peer Software website.
