Description

You can update your BeerSmith program and all of the data files directly over the internet from within BeerSmith.

This lets you keep all of your brewing data up to date.

Updating will not modify your inventory or alpha acid values, but may modify other fields for updated items with the same name.

Options are available to manually or automatically update your files.

Choosing What to Update

You can control which tables you want updated as well as how to update using the Auto Update tab on the Options command of the Tools menu.

Automatic mode checks every 10 days for new updates and downloads them automatically.  New updates are also installed automatically.  Recommended only if you have a broadband always-on internet connection.

Semi-Automatic mode checks files and downloads them in the background, but prompts you before installing them.  Recommended only if you have a broadband always-on internet connection.

Manual mode checks only when you run the Update BeerSmith from Internet command from the Tools menu.  This is recommended if you have a dial up connection.

Manually Updating

You can manually update BeerSmith at any time by running the Update BeerSmith from Internet command on the Tools menu.  Connect to the internet before running this command.

This will open a progress dialog.  Press the start button to begin downloading.

Progress on each file will be shown.  If there are any new files to install, the program will show them as they are downloaded.  Once complete, press OK to install any updated downloads, or cancel if there are no files to download.
