How to force updates on software?

Hi there,

How do I make it so that my software (which I am selling on a subscription basis) updates automatically when the user opens it and when appropriate new versions are available?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

There is a bunch of ways. One way is that you can write some code where the software will make a connection with your webserver and check to see if there is a version greater then the one currently out. If there is then it would automatically download the update.

 

If you know your users will have initiative then you can also tell them to download the update from a certain place and cause the current software to stop working.

 

If it is Microsoft based application , try the Updater Application block from Microsoft

 

Well i think you can just do it automatic u have to take the consent of the user

 

You can embed RSS feeds in the software with a tool like FeedForDev, and notify users whenever a new version is available.
