Update
CDM+ includes a robust web update utility. We recommend that you check for program updates frequently and install any that are available. To check for an update, go to File → Update or click on the update icon in the toolbar. See the section Automatically Checking for Updates below for instructions on setting up CDM+ to check for updates from the web at log in.
When updating from the web, no personal information is transferred, only your current version number that is used to determine which, if any, updates are available.
Updating
Choose File → Update from the File Menu or click the Update icon.

If there are updates available, the Update window will open. To see a list of updates you can click View Release Notes. To start the update click Download and Install.

If other users are accessing CDM+, you will see a list of users currently logged into the program appear. Each user must quit CDM+ before the updates can be installed. Once the update is complete, the program will restart, and all users may log back into CDM+.
