How do the Automatic Updates work?

Update patches are automatically applied when SoftPlan is run on a computer which is connected to the Internet and the File > System Options... > Setup Options > Automatically Check for Updates option is enabled (checked). If the SoftPlan version is current, SoftPlan will only check for updates once a day when it is first started. If the SoftPlan version is not current, SoftPlan will check for and apply an update patch each time it is started until the version is current. Thereafter it will only check once each day. A Checking for Updates dialog will be shown during the program start up process, prompting you to download and install the update patch. If a connection to the Internet cannot be established or if the update server is busy, SoftPlan will attempt to connect each time it is started until a connection is established. Thereafter it will behave as outlined above.
