Monthly Updates
The Monthly Update window indicates whether an update for Windchill Risk and Reliability has been downloaded and is ready for installation. To download a monthly update, you must have an Internet connection. If an Internet connection cannot be established when the check for an update is performed, a window opens, indicating why it could not be downloaded.
In the Enterprise Edition, a system administrator must select Help > Check for Updates from the application server, which is the machine on which Windchill Risk and Reliability is installed, to check the PTC website for updates. If no update is found, a window opens, indicating this. If an update is found, Windchill Risk and Reliability downloads the update and opens the Monthly Update window.
In the Team Edition, you can manually check for updates in the same manner as described above for the Enterprise Edition. Additionally, you can have Windchill Risk and Reliability automatically check for updates by selecting a frequency for General > Check for updates in the Options window. For more information, see General User Options. In this case, when you exit the application, the Monthly Update window opens if a downloaded but uninstalled update is found.
