In versions of Windows containing the Start menu (such as Windows 7), the Check For Updates tool is accessed via Start | All Programs | Modano | Check For Updates. In later versions of Windows the Check For Updates tool is accessed by activating the Windows Start menu, locating Modano in the list of Apps, then clicking on 'Check for Updates', as shown above.
In all cases the Check For Updates tool must be run as the same user for which the software is installed.
Connecting to the Modano website
