Introducing Electronic Delivery of Updates


Orchids Plus has the ability to download and install updates including new images, data and software features and fixes.


Automatic Prompts to Check for Updates


Orchids Plus will automatically prompt you to check for updates when you run the program at least one day after the initial install. Afterwards, the software will only prompt you once every 15 days at most (depending on how frequently you run the program) to check for updates.


You can configure how often you want to be prompted to check for updates by using the "Preferences" menu.


You can set the frequency you would like to be prompted for updates to:


  • Never auto prompt
  • Every 15 days
  • Every 30 days
  • Every 90 days
  • Every 180 days

We recommend checking for updates at least every few months or when you need access to current data.

Manually Checking for Updates at Your Convenience

You can check for updates manually any time using one of the following two methods:

  • Select "Check for Updates" under the Help menu when you have Orchids Plus running
  • Use the "Orchids Plus Update Client" shortcut in your start menu

Please note that a current Orchids Plus subscription may be required to download and install updates.
