The Check for Updates option, which runs automatically for all users (except those using the School Accounting System-Online version), securely connects via the Internet to Software Unlimited, Inc., to check to see if there are any new updates available for the School Accounting System. If a newer version of the School Accounting System than what is currently installed is available, an alert will appear under the Alerts section on the main School Accounting System screen (only those users set up as a supervisor or database administrator are able to install an update).
