Auto Update

Theatre Manager Server is designed to auto update when a new version is released. If you wish to disable the feature, make sure to disable it on all machines. If it is enabled, make sure it is enabled on all machines. Components auto-updated by the server are:

• TM Server
• NGINX web server
• TLS upgrades
• Default Web Pages (customized changes are never touched)
• Theatre Manager
