Overview

When VueMinder Calendar Lite 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.

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.
