NVivo automatically checks for software updates weekly, and notifies you when an update to your installed NVivo software is available. Software updates can include enhancements and fixes for known issues. We recommend that you install NVivo software updates when they become available.
If you do not want NVivo to automatically check for software updates, you can disable automatic checks. If you have turned off automatic checks for software updates, you can manually check for software updates whenever you choose.
