Updates contain corrections to the program. It is recommended that you keep automatic updates turned on, so that you are always using the most recent version of the program.
Click the Help | Check for Update command or click the 
button to check for the most recent version of Didger. If there is an update available (i.e. Didger 5.0 to Didger 5.1), you can follow the directions to download and install the free update. An update contains minor changes to the program. Updates are available at no cost and there are not typically new features added in updates. A list of changes is located at http://www.goldensoftware.com/didger-version-info.
Before using this command, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. Follow the directions in the dialog to complete the update if an update is available. If you have difficulties with the Help | Check for Update command, please contact technical support.
The automatic update preference can be adjusted at any time using the Tools | Project Settings command. Automatic updates allow the program to periodically check for an available update. Enabling automatic updates will allow your copy of Didger to always automatically stay up-to-date.
Click the Help | Check for Update command. If you are running in Windows Vista or 7 as a user, a dialog appears asking for Administrator permissions. Click the Allow button.
Didger will attempt to connect to the Golden Software server and check if an update exists for your version of the product.
If no update exists and/or you are already running the latest version, a dialog will appear letting you know there are no updates for your current version of Didger. Click the OK button and the Update program will exit.
If an update is available, the dialog will inform you about the specifics of the update and allow you to click the Cancel button should you decide not to download the update at this time. It is highly advised that updates be installed when available as updates contain corrections to known issues in the software.
Click the Next button to download the update file. A progress gauge displays.
When the download is finished, exit Didger and click the Install button to proceed with the update.
To obtain an upgrade (i.e. Didger version 4 to Didger version 5), contact Golden Software.
