What are Automatic Updates?

Instead of manually installing the latest Live updates, Live can keep itself up-to-date automatically.

How do Automatic updates work?

Updates are very small files. If there's an active internet connection, any available update will be downloaded when Live is started. Depending on the speed of your connection, an update should only take a couple of minutes or less to download. The current version will remain running until Live is closed, then the updated version will be launched automatically the next time you start Live.
