Control an Automatic Live Web Update Check upon Starting:

A startup dialog appears to allow user to check for recent updates to EPD software on startup each time, pre session (i.e Quit EPD and start again, will not do if opening drawings in same session or when starting a New drawing).

• Once you select the 'Check for software updates before launching application' check box, pick OK and the checking will start.

• If you select the 'Don't ask again' check box and pick OK, then no check will be run and the dialog will not appear anymore.

• Also as a 3rd option, select both check boxes and the software will check always, without the dialog, until reset / re-enabled from the CDS Update dialog.

• To 're-enable' the checking option dialog box to reappear again, run the EPDUPDATE command or pick Live Web Update from the menu and the CDS Update dialog will have a pop-down list to select. 

• Select the 'Prompt for Startup Update' option to have the 'Startup Options' dialog re-appear as before to make the selection desired.
