PerfectDisk Product Updates

Specify settings for the Auto Update option for installing PerfectDisk when a newer update is available. The following options can be set:

  • Notify when an update is available - If selected, PerfectDisk checks for updates periodically  and notifies you that a newer version of PerfectDisk is available. It then prompts you what action you would like to take. You can choose to download it, install it, or do nothing. You can also manually check for updates by using the Check For Updates option in the Help menu.

  • Always install updates - If selected, PerfectDisk looks for an update and if an update is available, it automatically downloads and installs the update. This keeps PerfectDisk always up-to-date.

  • Do not automatically check for updates - Setting this option does not check for updates. This is only recommended if you are going to use the Enterprise Console to deploy updates to client systems.

PerfectDisk should check for updates

Set the frequency to automatically check PerfectDisk updates. For example, you can specify to check for updates every 2 weeks on Sunday at 9:33 A.M.

Proxy Server

The “Proxy server” area points to Raxco’s own Internet update server for your version of PerfectDisk. Click the Proxy Settings check box if you access the Internet via a Proxy server, to identify the Server name and Port to use, and provide a User name and password to permit them to work through that server.

When done, click Next on the Auto Update page and the Schedules page opens.
