Automatic update for Host?

Is there a setting to have hosts on client machines automatically update to new releases? This would be very helpful.

Best Regards,

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately, no. In Remote Utilities paradigm the update process is always "human-initiated" and is under control. If Hosts start to update on their own this may lead to VIewer-Host version mismatch issues in case Viewer is outdated.

We understand that nowadays many apps update automatically but Remote Utilities isn't a single app, it's a dual app. And it dictates some caution when it comes to updating. Especially when a remote computer is many hundreds of miles from the user.
Ok, thanks for the explanation and I understand the caution. At least I can initiate the Simple Update function on many multiple remote hosts at the same time. Thanks for the response!
