If you use "xMoVe", you will be automatically
informed of new versions. |
The download version can check for a newer version at each start of the program. It works only with an active internet connection. This check can be switched on and off in the preferences at any time. In certain network configurations there may be problems with the automatic check. In these cases, you get an error message. If you can't change the network configuration, you must deactivate the automatic update in the preferences.
If a newer version is available, the following dialog will appear:
The Buttons has the following meaning:
The update with "Install" is the easiest and most sure way to get the latest version. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with Linux. Even if you want to update several installations, it may be better to download the archive. The loaded file is the same as on CD, homepage (www.mcrichter.de) or other media. After unpacking it, you must replace the files. But be sure not to replace your database file (e.g. "Trains.rsd"). During the next program start the database will be updated. A fallback to an older version is not possible.
When using a database-server, the updates are not installed automatically. These must be installed by an administrator at all workstations. |
Make a backup of your existing database, before you update to a newer version. Only with this backup it is possible to fall back to the old version. |
The database should not be in the same folder as the program files. |
