Keeping Your Tool Up-to-Date By Update SynchronizerUpdate Synchronizer is a tool that assists you to update all of the installed Visual Paradigm products in your organization with the most up-to-date copy from the local network instead of the Internet. Why needs Update SynchronizerTaking an organization in which 100 computers have been installed with our VP Products as an example, you have to connect to the Internet 100 times for getting the same update files; it leads to wasting of resources in terms of bandwidth and time. Using Update Synchronizer, you can save resources by downloading the update files to a server in your LAN once and sharing the updated files to your local network clients through the local area network. As the download process is done only once, it will not waste bandwidth and time for downloading the same files many times. On the other hand, computers that installed VP Products can update their installation easily once the updated files are available on the server. Hence, you can benefit from getting the update files as soon as possible by using the local area network instead of Internet and keeping the working version of your team in sync. How Update Synchronizer works

The Update Synchronizer checks for any updated files in the Internet with respect to the existing files in the repository and downloads all changed files to the repository. Once the updated files are available in the repository, the network client can update their local files by selecting manual connection using VP Suite Update.
