Performing Product Updates 

Periodically, Pearl Echo will automatically check Pearl Software's Internet 

Servers for available program updates.  You can manually check for program 

updates by selecting  Update Information  from the Help Menu. If the Update 

Checker determines that you are using an older version of Pearl Echo, you will 

be automatically directed to Pearl Software s update Internet site.  

You can disable Pearl Echo from automatically checking for program updates 

in the  Preferences   command of the Options menu. 

Update Instructions 

Pearl Echo Server updates are accomplished by running the Server patch 

available from Pearl Software s update Internet site. The Pearl Echo Server 

software does not need to be removed or reconfigured when installing a Pearl 

Echo Server update.  In order to avoid rebooting your Pearl Echo server, turn 

Pearl Echo Monitoring OFF prior to installing the Pearl Echo Server update. 

To automatically update your Pearl Echo Workstation agents, place the 

available Workstation patch in the WS_Updates folder found in the directory 

where you installed the Pearl Echo Server software.  The Pearl Echo service 

will automatically deliver the patch to Pearl Echo's zero maintenance agent. 

The self healing agent will update itself the next time the workstation is 

started. 

Update Availability 

Pearl Echo updates are available for the life of the product. Version upgrades 

are purchased separately or are freely available with a current Pearl Echo 

Maintenance Agreement. 

Note: Pearl Echo program updates differ from Echo Filter updates.  Echo Filter 

updates are done daily with a current Pearl Echo Maintenance Agreement.
