Featured Uses: Create and Publish | Discover and Download | Validate and Apply

Validate & Apply

The AppLife® Update Controller validates every downloaded update package to ensure integrity and source. After validation, updates are applied using an AppLife® Update Action List, the Windows Installer, or your own custom update executable.

Cryptographic Validation
After the update package is downloaded from your update server, the Update Controller in your application validates the update by checking its signature with the application's public cryptographic key. Only after validating the update, can it be applied.
Shutdown All Instances
Applying an update first closes all instances of the application being updated so that its files can be replaced. Before closing, you can handle an event to ensure each instance is ready to be closed. You can perform tasks such as saving work in progress, closing other applications, or writing your own logs. If any instance is not ready for closing, you can even cancel the update process.
Vista UAC Ready
With AppLife® Update action list updates, your automatic update process is ready for Windows Vista and the User Account Control (UAC).
Elevated Privileges
The AppLife® Update Service can elevate user privileges during the application of your AppLife® Update action list updates. Elevating privileges allows standard users to update your software without administrative support. AppLife® Update makes it easy to deploy the service with your software by including a Merge Module(msm) that installs the service and registers your application for elevation. The AppLife® Update service will only update applications that are administratively registered.
