Updating the Testing Application

Newer versions of the Testing Application have automatic updates. You'll be notified while logging in when a new version is available. A manual update is still necessary for older versions. Here we explain when that is needed and how to go ahead.

This article will explain how to update the Lexplore Testing Application. It clarifies when/if you need to perform manual updates and/or if you have a version that has built-in triggers for automatic updates.

  • Automatic Updates
    • All versions with number 5.31 or higher.

For a newer version with automatic updates, you will be notified with a pop-up message when logging into Lexplore Testing Application that there is a new version available for installation. Follow the instructions you see on the screen in order to proceed with the update.

  • Manual Updates
    • All versions with number 5.30 or lower.

You can always do a manual update to ensure you are running on the latest version of the app. 

To guarantee that you have the latest features and security updates, you are required to update the installed Testing Application in Windows. Scroll down for instructions on how to do a manual update.

If you have a version of the application that is older than a version starting at 5.30 (5.29, 5.28, 5.27.....5.15..) you need to first uninstall the application in order to update/Re-install it again: Uninstall the Lexplore Application
