== (**COPIED FROM ENGLISH PAGE**) ==The update process is explained&nbsp;[[Updates|here]].

When you want a simple update, you can use the Help, Update option.

This option needs a working internet connection. Your firewall and anti virus software also need to enabled bascom-avr to use the internet.

On windows 7 you need admin rights because bascom-avr is installed in a sub folder of&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bold;">Program Files</span>. And All files under Program Files are write protected in Windows 7.

Of course, the same does apply to updatewiz.exe&nbsp;: it needs rights to write to the MCS Electronics\BASCOM-AVR folder which is located under Program Files.

&nbsp;

If you click Help, Update, the IDE will check if updatewiz.exe exists in the BASCOM-AVR program folder.

If it doesn't exist, it will be downloaded from&nbsp;[http://register.mcselec.com/ http://register.mcselec.com]

This site you can also visit for manual downloading of updates.

&nbsp;

After updatewiz has been downloaded, or when it existed, the latest lic file will be downloaded and saved as bascom-avr.lic

After that, the updatewiz is started and bascom exits.

The updatewiz will continue as usual. The process is explained under&nbsp;[[Updates|'Updates']]

&nbsp;

So what does this Help, Update do?

- downloads updatewiz if required

- downloads latest lic file

- starts the updatewiz

&nbsp;

If there is a problem you will get an error and you are instructed to visit&nbsp;[http://register.mcselec.com/ http://register.mcselec.com]

&nbsp;

The most common reason for a problem will be&nbsp;:

- no working internet connection

- no rights for bascom or updatewiz to alter files in the bascom-avr folder

- no valid license, or invalidated license
