Overview
When VueMinder Calendar starts it can automatically check for updates.
- If a more recent version is available, a window will be
displayed listing the latest changes, which will usually
consist of bug corrections and enhanced features.
- Note that if other people are logged into the same
computer and also running VueMinder Calendar, you should first have
those people exit out of VueMinder Calendar before attempting to
update. This will prevent possible errors that could
result from VueMinder Calendar's program files being in use by
others.
- If you purchased VueMinder Calendar, updating to a new version
requires an active service contract. You automatically
receive a free 1 year service contract when VueMinder
Calendar is
registered.
- Trial version users do not need a service contract, but
the trial will expire 30 days after the initial installation and updating to a new
version will not reset this counter.
- If your service contract has expired, a message will
display after clicking the Update button, and the program
won't update until the service contract is renewed. You
can continue using your current version for as long as you'd
like, regardless of whether the service contract has
expired.
- Warning: If your service contract
has expired and you manually
download and install the latest version of VueMinder
Calendar, when the latest version is started it will
prompt you for a valid non-expired service contract key. You will need to uninstall the latest
version and return to the previous version if you don't
want to renew your service contract.

Automatically Check for Updates
A checkbox is provided to control whether VueMinder Calendar will
automatically check for updates when started. This can
also be controlled via a Program
Option. If you'd like to manually check for updates,
you can use the "Check for Updates" command from the
Help menu. When automatic update
checking is enabled, you can choose to have VueMinder Calendar
perform the check whenever it starts, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Update Button
If an update is available, you can click the Update button to
initiate the update process. The latest version will be
downloaded. A progress bar will show the download status.
If you have a broadband connection, the download should only
take a few seconds. You can minimize the window while the
download is in progress, if you'd like to work on other programs
outside of VueMinder while the update is being applied.

After the download completes, your data will be saved, VueMinder
Calendar
will be closed, and a Setup Wizard for the latest version launched.

Follow the prompts of the wizard to install the update.
When the installation is complete you can choose to restart
VueMinder Calendar.
- New versions will always be backward-compatible with
your existing data, so there's no need to worry about data
being lost when updating to a new version.
- New versions are always virus-scanned by VueSoft and
then digitally signed with an Authenticode certificate. This
provides you with our assurance that the update has not been
tampered with and is free of viruses or any other type of
malware.
