Installing Software Updates

On the Windows machine where Sentinel Vendor Suite or Sentinel LDK-EMS is installed, the Sentinel LDK software manager checks to determine whether a later version of the software is available from Thales servers. This helps to ensure that you are aware of important updates and that you are always working with the latest version of Sentinel LDK.

An update may consist of a new version of Sentinel LDK or an update to individual components or documents.

Each day, the software manager checks for the availability of any updates to the installed components of Sentinel LDK. The check takes place at the same time of day that the components were installed. Only one update notification is delivered on any given day.

If the software manager determines that an update is available, a message window similar to the following is displayed:

The title of the window identifies the component of Sentinel LDK to which the update applies, followed by "Update Client".

For more information regarding the update, click Show Details. A window similar to the following is displayed:

This window lists details of the update.

At this point, you can choose to:

>Click Install to download and install the updated version.

NOTE   Before you click this option, be sure to close any active Sentinel LDK applications.

>Click Not Now (or just close the window) to postpone the update. The notification will be displayed again the next day.

>Click Ignore Update. You will not receive any more notifications regarding this specific update.
