ECI software version control

From time to time updates will be made to the ECI that may affect the ECI Software. Each time you visit the ECI Server Framework, either to 'Get New Documents' or 'Send Documents', an automatic check of the version of the ECI Software that you are running is performed. If there has been a software update that affects the ECI Software since your last visit, this will be detected. An automatic update of your ECI Software will be performed while you are online to the ECI Server Framework.
