DIABASS PRO: How to install updates

Beitrag von Team DIABASS »

Automatic update check
DIABASS has an automatic update check. If a new update is available, a notification appears and the user can decide whether to install the update automatically.

In some networks, however, the internet connection is restricted by firewalls. In this case, please make sure with your IT administrator that a connection to our update servers http(s)://www.diabass.com and http(s)://www.mediaspects.com (port: 80 or 443) is permitted.

So you can determine which version you have installed:
Click on the INFO button to open the info screen. There you can see the BUILD number, indication the release information..
The first number means the year, the second number means the month of the installed release.

If the automatic update check is disabled or prevented by you system settings, you can optionally download and install the current version manually.
Please use the following permanent link:

No installation via internet allowed ?
Installing or updating locally stored applications means often a certain challenge in particularly secure network environments. However, DIABASS offers convenient and time-saving options to handle this task:

If an update (via internet) is generally not possible or permitted, the update can simply be distributed locally.

To do this, your Admin can download the update package from

https://www.diabass.com/getupdate.php

If neccessary, the Admin then can perform any additional internal security/virus checks, afterward the Admin unpacks all files contained in the package into the common update directory of DIABASS.

You will find this update folder as shown in the screenshot under (4), there button "Open update folder".
As far as the installation in the network was done according to our instructions (steps 1. - 5.), this update folder should be a directory accessible for all workstations.


If you enabled the option "check for available updates: IN UPDATE DIRECTORY" in the update settings of DIABASS
(see screenshot), the workstations will fetch the update from the local update directory when DIABASS is started.

No installation allowed on workstations?
If the above procedure is exceptionally not possible due to local restrictions or lack of privileges, you can also package or roll out DIABASS manually:

To do this, you just have to setup DIABASS on a PC with the desired network paths or to update it later.
Be sure to follow our instructions.

Afterwards, the local DIABASS directory (including all subdirectories) can be copied or rolled out 1:1 to the other workstations.
A dedicated installation or registry entries are not necessary.
