If an update is available, the download is initiated. Downloads in the background run at low priority and
only occur when the workstation is idle. A system tray icon will be displayed when checking or retrieving
and installing updates. If the user holds the mouse pointer over the icon, the current status of the
operation will be shown. If the user double-clicks the icon, the Software Updates application will be run,
showing the detailed status of the update and allowing the end user to cancel the update if they wish.
The software update service will check for new updates for all software components every 14 days. The
interval between updates can be customized by the Customer Account Administrator.
If the Hotspot Directory, Lightweight Policy Enforcement files, or Dynamic customizations files are newer
than the installed files, the updates will be automatically downloaded and installed without prompting
the user.
If a Software Update is available, the updated installation package will be downloaded. The next time the
user launches the AT&T Global Network Client, the user will be prompted to install the newer version of
the AT&T Global Network Client. If mobile firmware needs to be updated, the user is also prompted.
