Over the course of time, Intonia may be expected to have many incremental updates. Some of the updates will be new features and enhancements, others may be bug fixes. Registered users of Intonia may update their copy to the latest version available at any time at no cost.

Intonia has the capability of querying the Intonia website to see if a newer version is available. This check will be done under the following conditions:

• Clicking Check for Updates on the File Menu.
• If the Check for Updates on Startup option is selected, Intonia will automatically check each time it starts up, provided it's been at least 24 hours since the last check.
• The first time Intonia is run after installation, a dialog will pop up asking if you want to check for a newer version. This dialog also allows you to check or uncheck the Check for Updates on Startup option.

If Intonia determines a newer version is available, it will pop up an "Updates Found" dialog that tells you what version you are running, what the latest available version is, and some of the features of the newer version. Options are:

• Update: Intonia will take you to a web page that should automatically start the download. Download the installer to your desktop and double-click it to start the installation. You should close any open Intonia windows before starting the installation. The installation will leave all your options and license information unchanged.

  Installing an update uses exactly the same process as the original installation. For more information, see the section on Installation.

• Remind me later: The next time Intonia is run, it will automatically check for an update. It does this by setting the Check for Updates on Startup option to "Once" (unless it is already set to "Always").
• Ignore: The update will not be downloaded, but a note will be made of the version being ignored. If the Check for Updates on Startup option is selected, it will continue to check automatically, and pop up a message only when an even newer version is offered. This option affects only automatic updates, not manual updates using the Check for Updates on the File Menu.

The checkbox at the bottom of the dialog, labeled "Always check for updates on startup", controls Check for Updates on Startup on the Files tab of the Options Dialog.

You must be connected to the internet for version checking to work. If you initiate the check manually and no connection is detected, an error message will be displayed. If the check was started automatically, it will be terminated silently and the check will be repeated the next time Intonia starts up.
