The automatic software update feature provides the ability for the
application to check for updates, download, and do the installation
automatically. It also includes automatic license update that enables the application
to validate and update the license on the server periodically and
automatically. The feature is provided through the Updater agent (UPDSHL10.EXE)
that interfaces with the application. Besides, it needs the Client Side index
file, which is an XML file that describes the version and properties. For more
information about the feature and how to create the Client Side index file, see
the Automatic Software Update
section.
The table below lists the needed system files for the protected
application with the automatic software update feature. These system files
(including the Client Side index file) must be placed in the same folder as the
protected executable.
