1.5 Support and Upgrade
The Support and Upgrade program lets you call Electronics Workbench with your technical
questions. The program also entitles you to no-charge upgrades to the software as new
versions are released.
Between major upgrade releases, Electronics Workbench puts out a series of patches that may
add incremental functionality, add new parts to the database, or quickly address any issues
found in the field.
If you allow it to (a choice you initially make upon install and can later change), Multisim or
Ultiboard will quickly and silently check the Electronics Workbench website for the
availability of new patches and upgrades when you start the application. If any are available,
it will open the Support and Upgrade Utility (SUU) program that will allow you to download
and install all the necessary patches to get you to the most current version of your product.
1.5.1 Checking for Updates
Unless you selected I will check for updates and messages manually during the installation of
your software (e.g., Multisim, Ultiboard), SUU checks for updates when you launch that
software. You can also check for updates at any time by following the procedure below.
To check for updates:
1. Select
Help/Check for Updates. SUU launches and checks for updates.
2. If updates are available, it is indicated in the
Support and Upgrade Utility window. You can
click on the
Release Notes link for a description of the upgrade.
Note A message advising that your software is up-to-date appears if there are no updates
available.
3. Proceed to “1.5.2 Installing Updates” on page 1-14.
1.5.2 Installing Updates
Use the procedure below to install updates. To determine if updates are available, see “1.5.1
Checking for Updates” on page 1-14.
Most users will install all available upgrades. You can also upgrade to a specific version. This
option should only be used to ensure parallel versions of software are being run within an
organization or institution.
