The Software Update Service (SUS) is installed automatically when you install the latest version of SoftDent. After the update service is configured, it automatically checks for updates and enables you to install the updates when convenient.
The SUS provides the following benefits:
Updates give you the latest features.
Updates are fast and efficient; no more disks lost in the mail.
Updates are delivered automatically to your desktop.
Updates are securely downloaded and verified.
You have no disks to file or lose.
You have no disk issues to resolve; for example, disks that cannot be read.
You can schedule updates during non-working hours.
Features of the SUS include:
The service provides additional information about each update; you decide if and when to update.
The service works behind the scenes and does not disrupt your workflow.
The service uses the same technology as Microsoft to deliver updates.
The service alerts you if there are any issues.
The service utilizes a simple registration procedure that uses the same account details as other Carestream Dental services.
The service collects only the information necessary to operate the service (email address, account number, Carestream Dental software versions installed, and a number assigned to your site and each PC).
You receive no additional or intrusive marketing.
For more information, see the SoftDent Scheduler Practice Management Software Installation Guide. You can access this guide from your Windows task bar by selecting Start > All Programs > SoftDent Software > Online Documentation > Installation Guide.
