Mandatory Releases

For mandatory releases, Minute Menu HX updates automatically upon launch. Note that you must have administrative privileges to complete this update. If the process does not automatically begin, or you encounter an issue with the upgrade, check your administrative privileges and try again.

Optional Releases

For optional releases, you must manually trigger an update, or apply the update with the manual update patch.

1. Click the Administration menu.

2. Select Upgrade Software.

   2. From the menu to the left, click Get Help.

   3. Click Downloads.

Upgrading Multiple Networked Computers Using Minute Menu HX

When you upgrade your software, the system upgrades both your local machine and your network's database. To apply the update to other networked machines, close and re-open Minute Menu HX on each of those machines. They will update automatically. We recommend you run software updates when it will least impact what others in your office are doing.

If, for some reason, the upgrade does not automatically run on your networked machines after upgrading the first machine, click the Administration menu and select Upgrade Software. If that still does not work, refer to the Upgrade with the Manual Update Patch heading, above.
