When Polysun is started, it checks whether a newer version is available. In order for Polysun to check whether an update is available, Polysun must have access to the Internet. If an update is available, a corresponding note is displayed. If you do not want to perform the update, you can close the window. After that Polysun will open normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To control the frequency of the automatic update search, you can click on “Tools” and open “Settings”. The function is located under “Check for software updates”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
