Distribution package

To get the current version, contact AxxonSoft technical support.

The distribution package contains two files:

  • update_server_install.exe is an installation file for the Update Server and Update Manager interface;
  • update_agent_install.exe is an installation file for the Client part.

Installation procedure

The Update Server is installed on the computer that will distribute updates as the Update Server. The Update Agent is installed on each computer that requires automatic updates in the future (i.e. on the Agents).

Any computer can be an Update Server even if it doesn’t have Intellect installed. Any Intellect Servers, Remote Administrator’s workstations, Remote Clients can be Agents (the differences are described in Configuration procedure for servers, clients and remote workstations).

Attention!

You must run the installation files as a Windows Administrator.
