Update Sites in the Enterprise Cloud

You can use Update Sites to automatically update Maconomy Workspace Client.

Update Sites are going to be enabled in your Production environment and Preview environment, where one has been provided (Preview environments are provided for major upgrades). Update Sites will not be enabled in your other non-production environments. For users who need access to multiple environments (Non-Production, Preview and Production), it is recommended that one Workspace Client is installed for Production access only and one Workspace Client for Preview access only. These Workspace Clients will automatically update. A minimum of one other Workspace Client should be installed for the other Non-Production environments. When Non-Production environments are upgraded the new version of the Workspace Client should be downloaded from the link provided by Deltek and installed manually.

When the Update Sites are enabled it may update your users Workspace Clients when they go to login. This will only occur if users are not using the latest compatible version. An update package will average 60-70MB per download. There is no downtime associated with this process.

Note: Automatic updates of the Workspace Client are possible on installations of the client that have been made via the Windows ZIP packages and Macintosh .DMG method (where write access to the directory is ensured). If this is not the case, some versions of the Workspace Client may contain components that cannot be updated and that may require re-installation of the Workspace Client. Some customers may also have restrictions on their computers (such as terminal servers) that may prevent automatic updates to succeed, and that thereby require re-installation. Windows access rights management may also prevent automatic updates to be successful if the Workspace Client was originally installed using the MSI installer. Deltek thereby recommends that installations of the Workspace Client on Windows platforms be performed using the ZIP packages and on Macintosh using .DMG.
