Service Update

OCAD AG aims the goal to maintain the software without errors to the best possible extend. For this reason, known bugs are corrected in Service Updates. Therefore we recommend using OCAD software always with the most recent Service Update to benefit from the quality improvements. The latest Service Update is available on our website in the Download section.

OCAD Updater

OCAD checks for the newest Service Update online, everytime when it is started. If there's a new Service Update available, the OCAD Updater dialog appears.

The content of the Service Update is listed in the Release notes part of the dialog. You have three options:

• Skip this Update: Click this button to skip the current version. OCAD will not ask again to install the service update until a new version is available.
  
• Remind me later: When this button is clicked, OCAD will ask you again to install the Service Update, when you start it the next time.
  
• Install Service Update: Click this button to install the update.
