Hi,

We were on AccuTrack 8.0.91 and was upgraded automatically to 8.1.31 yesterday.

We are wondering if there is any way that when AccuTrack upgrades are to happen, the AccuTrack users will be notified before it occurs. It seems to have slowed the system down and the set up had to be checked for changes. It is a very busy time in Student Services right now and it is hard to find time to take care of checking the set up.

One question regarding to the installation. Later if we need to install AccuTrack, we will run the installation from the CD, and after the installation, get a copy of AccuTrack.exe of version 8.1.31 and replaced the old one, am I right? Can we apply the same scenario for any patch of AccuTrack 8?

Thank you very much.

You can disable auto updates via the Option screen if you like. However, I would not recommend this as you'd want to have the latest version available.

Note that the software will not just update itself - there is a prompt "New upgrade found. Would ou like to update?" and this requires answering "Yes" for the update to occur.

Also note that the updates do not change your data files (including configuration). Also updates should not cause any slow downs as the software does not change much between maintenance revisions.

Hi,

The upgrade did change our custom configuraion.
For example, it changed the require fields for the new student sign-in screen, after the upgrade, we had to reconfigure the screen.
