When a new NoteTab update is available, you will see it listed in the News and Updates dialog box, which is available from the Help/Check for Updates menu command. In some cases, the Setup file will be downloadable and installable directly from within NoteTab. In other cases, your browser window will open to a download page on our Web site. A single mouse click on the update item will start the download to your computer.
If you enable the Help/Poll for News menu option, NoteTab will automatically check our Web site at regular intervals for updates and other news. If it detects that the news file has been updated, NoteTab will automatically display its contents on startup. Just click on the link to view a news item or download a program update. Note that NoteTab needs access to the Internet for this feature. If you use a firewall product like ZoneAlarm or Norton Personal Firewall, make sure you allow the NoteTab.exe or NotePro.exe program file to make the connection.
Usually, program updates are downloaded and installed directly from within NoteTab. However, be aware that some download managers may take over this download process and interfere with normal operations. When this happens, you may see a prompt from NoteTab asking you to tell it when the download has been completed.
We recommend that you enable the Help/Poll for News option to keep your NoteTab program up-to-date. However, if you prefer to check for updates manually, then use the Help/Check for Updates menu command instead. Updates up until the next major release are free for registered users. See the Upgrade Policy topic for more information about this.
