Walk-Around Install: a required update to Theatre Manager

This step is only necessary if you have a version of Theatre Manager that has NEWER components than any version in use (eg an update to the word processor). These updates are:

  • downloaded in the background and
  • require the reinstallation of Theatre Manager at the workstation.
While we endeavour to minimize the number of 'full' installs, it is not always possible.

If you are asked to get an install the update before you log in, then simply click the Install Now button.

If you click the later button, you will see an Update TM icon on the toolbar after logging in - so you can update at your leisure.

When doing a manual upgrade from an older to a newer version of Theatre Manager, it might be easier to:

  • download the OSX, Windows (or both) installers to one workstation
  • quit Theatre Manager on all other workstations that are giving a message requiring an update to components
