Download and install new MVP plug-ins on a MarkVision Server for added device or functional support. The plug-ins may contain downloadable client components. Relevant client information downloads to your workstation when you log in to the MarkVision Server.
From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Software Update (Manage PlugIns) from the All Tasks list.
A dialog appears, listing installed plug-ins.
| Note: Select a plug-in, and then click Remove to uninstall it. The plug-is removed from the server and the client. The uninstall script on the server and the client determines if a restart is necessary. |
If no plug-ins are listed, download updates from the MarkVision Professional Web site at www.markvisionprofessional.com.
Click Install New.
A dialog appears.
Select and install a plug-in from the directory.
The MVP message window (located at the bottom of the MarkVision Professional Home screen) announces the plug-in(s) installation status:
If the selected plug-in has previously been installed, you will be informed that the plug-in is already installed.
If the selected plug-in is older than the one that is currently installed, the current plug-in will need to be uninstalled before the older version can be installed.
If an earlier version of the selected plug-in is already installed, you may upgrade the existing plug-in.
After a plug-in has been installed on the server, the MVP Client receives information on the plug-in versions that have been installed and details on which plug-ins contain downloadable client components. If new client components are available, the client determines if the server and client are compatible and then automatically downloads the client component of any plug-ins that it does not already have.
| Note: If the client and server are not compatible because the client contains a component that the server does not have, a warning message is issued and any incompatible client components are removed. |
