Preparing Your Installer for Update Notifications

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2

InstallAnywhere includes an Enable Update Notifications action. This action deploys the FlexNet Connect Java agent along with your product. The Java agent periodically checks for notifications about your product and automatically notifies your Web-connected end users when patches, updates, and product information for your product are available. FlexNet Connect helps you reduce the number of end users running old releases of your products and prevent them from installing the wrong updates from your Web site.

By default, the Enable Update Notifications action also creates a launcher for the Java agent so that your end users have the option of checking for updates on demand.
