For you to distinguish the messages, each type of messages has its color:
• warnings are orange
• errors are red
The Status area is visible until at least one warning or error is not resolved and you are logged in
to Application Manager. Note that a message about a support contract expiration is displayed
even when you are logged out from Application Manager and it disappears when another user
logs in. The message about the offline state remains till you are not connected to the Internet.
Application Manager needs 1-2 minutes to get the connection state updated.
Along with warnings in the Status area, four weeks before the support contract expiration, you
will see notifications popping up from the Application Manager tray icon. Warnings and popping
up notifications will stop showing as soon as the support contract is renewed within those four
weeks or 30 days past support expiration date.
The following sections describe the principles of working with each of the Application Manager
tabs.
