There are two parts to doing updates: Application Updates<\/em> and Database Updates<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Application updates are when there are changes to any of the applications, eg. PhonePad 5 Workstation, the PhonePad 5 Server, Instant Chat, Database Restore, etc.\u00a0 These can be downloaded from www.myphonepad.com or via links in articles we post here.<\/p>\n

Database updates are changes to the PhonePad 5 database.\u00a0 In PhonePad 4 this involved changing the structure of database tables to fix problems or add new features.\u00a0 In PhonePad 5 it can include these changes but also changes to the many procedures and functions that make PhonePad 5 work.\u00a0 As a lot of functionality is built into the database itself in PhonePad 5, this can be easily updated to add new features and fix issues that have been found.\u00a0 This is especially true with bug fixes as we can turn them around much faster than we can with application updates.<\/p>\n

Database updates are done using the Database Update<\/strong> application.\u00a0 It is quite simple to use.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

Click the Check<\/strong> button to check the web server for new updates.\u00a0 You can download the updates by clicking the Download<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

When you are ready to install the updates then click the Install<\/strong> button.\u00a0 Any updates that are already installed will be marked as installed in the list.<\/p>\n

An automatic database update system will be added in the coming months that will automatically download and install these updates for you so you don’t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n

Important Information<\/strong><\/span>: While many users didn’t have any problems with Database Update, some users were experiencing issues that were due to over-restrictive Windows permissions.\u00a0 Because of this, we have updated Database Update to store its information in a location that doesn’t have these access rights issues.\u00a0 If you had these problems please download and install Update 1 again as it has been re-released with these changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
