In-Software Updates

Softree uploads “micro updates” of the software periodically. RoadEng, Softree Optimal and Terrain Tools have an automatic update version checker that accesses the web to look for updates.

The default is set for weekly. When a new update is available you will receive a Softree Product Update message (similar to the image below):

  • Select Setup tab|Check for Updates button (as shown below)
