PrestoSoft Blog: ExamDiff Pro 17: In-App Update Support

ExamDiff Pro 17 will add the ability to download and install updates without leaving the application.

In the past, the Help | Check for Updates command would require you to open a web browser to actually download a new version of ExamDiff Pro. Starting in ExamDiff Pro 17, when you click Help | Check for Updates, if there are any updates available, a new Update Available dialog will open:

From here, you'll be able to see all the features that have been added in between your current version of ExamDiff Pro and the newest available version, as well as seeing whether your license allows you to use this newer version or if you need to purchase an upgrade license.

When you click Upgrade, the new version gets downloaded and installed automatically. As part of the installation process, your currently open ExamDiff Pro window(s) will close, prompting you to save any unsaved file changes, if any.

As before, ExamDiff Pro will also periodically check for updates automatically on app startup, opening the Update Available dialog if an updated version is available. You can configure this automatic update-check behavior in Options under Global | Other.
