All OK

If you have DesignFiX with a version ≥ 3.4 you already have the new LiveUpdate service and you do not have to perform a manual update.
Perfectly!

As of version 3.4, DesignFiX includes a new update mechanism. The main advantage is a faster data transfer and the waiver of the requirement of administration rights. Only the first installation of DesignFiX or this one-time service update requires administration rights.

As usual, after the start of DesignFiX the program automatically looks in the Background for a program update. If DesignFiX has found an update, this is indicated in several places in the program by a flashing button. Alternatively, you can start the search for updates manually (please see picture).
