Getting Updates

CCDAutoPilot offers both a Manual and Automatic method of getting updates.



Using the menu to select Help/Get Updates from Web/Now will immediately check for available updates.



Clicking on Every Day will set or clear a check mark.  If the check mark is present, CCDAutoPilot will check for updates once a day at the first execution of the day.

If you have a remote observatory without Internet access, first update CCDAutoPilot on a PC that does have Internet access.  The update installer files are always located in (My) Documents\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot5\Updates\.  Simply copy those files to a flash drive and install them on your observatory PC.  Don't forget to copy your license file as well.

When updating via CCDAutoPilot, a new folder is created in the above described Updates folder. It will be named "Version 5.xx.x" with the version number of the version being updated. For example, if you are updating to version 5.11.9 from version 5.11.6, the folder will be named "Version 5.11.6" and the installation files for Version 5.11.9 will be in the Updates folder. This is a convenient way to go back to a previous version if you have a need to. Before running the setup for the old version, you need to uninstall the new version using Windows Program and Features. Your system profiles and target databases will not be affected/
