Manually Downloading Program Updates

Overview | Update Preferences | Installing an Update

If you choose not to allow automatic download of updates (a preference setting), you can manually check for and download them at anytime using this procedure. You must have an active Internet connection for this procedure.

To manually check for and download an update:

1. Select Update QBPOS from the File menu.

2. On the Updates tab of the window displayed, select Get Updates.

Point of Sale connects to the update site and checks for/downloads new updates. If you have multiple workstations, each must download or have access to the update file before continuing. Learn more.

3. Once downloading is complete, select Install Now to immediately install the update on this workstation.

If you do not immediately install a downloaded update, Point of Sale will prompt you to do so each time you exit the program.

When trying to update my Point of Sale program, I get an Error 12029. How can I fix this?
