Updating

The Access Desktop Client has an auto-update feature. This feature allows two very important things:



Easy and hassle-free updating of the client for basic users.
The client updates itself automatically, requiring little user interaction.



Version control for administrators.
The administrators can set a certain version of the Access Desktop Client to be used when
updating.
