Auto Upgrade will only appear when there is an official release.
If you choose not to update and later choose to update you can simply choose Help->Automatically Upgrade [My Lighting] to [Version] menu option. This menu selection will only show up after the notification message is received. Refer to Figure 21. Note: You must already have an AutoUpdate userid (isy) and password (autoupdate) in order to utilize the AutoUpgrade feature
