Customization Features
  • Powerful WYSIWYG Update Design Editor. Configure the FlashUpdate Client with the exact appearance and style you want! Maintain the basic look-and-feel of your application, add company logos, billboards, etc.

  • FlashUpdate ships with over a dozen unique design templates, which you are free to modify and use in your software updates. Additional designs can also be downloaded from the Synopsis Software web site.

  • The update designs are stored in a single, convenient location, so you may share them with other users or use them again in different projects. Switching between different update designs is as effortless as a single mouse click!

  • The Design Editor includes support for text macros and runtime variables.

  • Import different graphic formats such as Windows Bitmaps, Icons, and compressed GIF and JPEG images.

  • When you distribute the FlashUpdate Client to your users, all of the design files (including graphics) are encrypted and compressed into a single file for hassle-free distribution.


Patch Engine Features

  • Advanced Patch Engine provides up to 98% file compression. Satisfy your users with shorter download times and benefit from low bandwidth usage.

  • Adaptive patch creation for optimal patch size and speed efficiency.

  • Support for all file types, including executable files, system files, data files, and documents.

  • Native support for shared and locked files. Safely update files and applications that are in use without worrying about file sharing or access violations.

  • Exceptionally fast patch file application. Even large applications containing hundreds of files are updated in a few seconds.

  • Helps to prevent software piracy. The patching process requires that the original software files are installed before they can be updated.


Security Features

  • Protect your updates with a password. Redirect users to your web site when the password check fails, or have them send an email to retrieve the password.

  • Advanced backup system. The FlashUpdate Client can automatically create and manage copies of all the files that are modified during the update process, to allow the restoration of a previous software version.

  • Runtime logging of the software update. The FlashUpdate Client keeps track of all the changes made during the update. Rollback to a previous version, or use the update log to help in troubleshooting and provide technical support.

  • Multiple security checks during the software update process, including CRC32 and other checksums, to guarantee the complete integrity of the update and ensure that no file is ever only partially updated.
