Information
Software Upgrades
When you choose the Check for Upgrade option on the information menu, Image Surfer Pro will access information at www.ImageSurferPro.com in order to determine what the latest release available is. It will compare the information about the newest release with the release you are currently running and display a summary of the comparison in a window similar to the one on the left.
Understanding Your Options
In the Upgrade Options box there are two possible options. The top option is for upgrading to a new free edition while the bottom version is for upgrading to a new registered edition. Each option will be enabled if a newer version of that edition of the software is available.
If there is no newer version of the software of that type, the corresponding option will be grayed out in the form. If both options are grayed out, then you are running the latest version of the software.
Read the text of each option carefully before deciding which option to choose. The options are radio buttons and selecting one option will automatically unselect the other option. By default the option to upgrade to a registered version will be selected.
Automatically Checking For Updates
This field will be checked if your user configuration setting is enabled. Changing the field on this form will change your user configuration.
When checked Image Surfer Pro will contact www.ImageSurferPro.com once each day it is used to determine if a newer version of the software exists. This does not cause your browser display to navigate or change in anyway, the connection is made silently.
If Image Surfer Pro determines there is either a newer Free or Registered version of the software available from www.ImageSurferPro.com then the Upgrade dialog will be displayed.
If you choose to ignore the upgrade (with the Cancel button), you will want to make sure this feature is disabled or you will be reminded daily to upgrade.
