Thanks for all the come-backs, people!

I'll just have to learn to be patient.

Cheers!

I paid $35 for two years subsciption
every day when I turn on the PC it automatically checks the Grisoft site
downloads and installs any updates
longest it ever takes is about 20 seconds in total
dollars well spent and I do not begrudge one cent

Hi kt::

Mine also updates automatically whenever there's an update available.
However, I think yesterday there was a (rare) problem at the Grisoft end.
If your program still updated, I can only conclude that you must access a
different server as a paying customer.

Cheers!

I was also having problems yesterday Oct 20 trying to run the
update...tried again this morning ...worked great
