1. Tell the AutoUpgrade utility what you want it to do before or as it
performs an update. Your options are:

Select this checkbox to have the utility download the archive that
contains new program files, then save it in a location you specify
instead of extracting it and installing it.
Selecting this checkbox also selects the Save the Upgrade files for
later usage
checkbox. To tell AutoUpgrade where to save the
program file archive, enter a path and folder name in the text box
below this checkbox, or click
Browse to locate a suitable folder.
You might want to use this option if you download new program
files to a central server on your network and want individual client
computers to download, extract and install the new files locally.
2. Tell the AutoUpgrade utility what you want it to do after it successfully
downloads, extracts, and installs new .DAT files. Your options are:
• Reboot system, if needed, after a successful update . Select this
checkbox to have the AutoUpgrade utility restart your system after
it installs new program files.
