Frequently Asked Questions

• How does Apps Magnet Auto Updater work?
  When you set it up for the first time, you enter your Apps Magnet login information and select a method for file uploads (Direct, FTP or SFTP). Once that’s done, the Auto Updater checks with our repository once a day (via daily scheduled tasks) to see if there are any updates to your installed products – or if there is something else you’ve purchased. If updates are found, a notification is shown on the homepage for administrators. Administrator can come to the Auto Updater settings and click a button to install all available updates.
• I do not have cron / scheduled tasks running. Will this still work?
  If cron / scheduled tasks are running, Apps Magnet Auto Updater can check for updates automatically. If they are not setup / running on your server, you can check for updates manually by going to Apps Magnet Auto Updater option under activeCollab admin and clicking on the “Check Now” button.
• I do not see updates for all my third party modules. But I know there are new releases.
  Apps Magnet Auto Updater checks new releases of only Apps Magnet products. So if you don’t see a module in the upgrade list, it’s mostly because it was not developed by Apps Magnet.
• What information does Apps Magnet Auto Updater send to your server?
  Apps Magnet Auto Updater sends a list of installed modules and their versions to Apps Magnet server – along with your Apps Magnet login details to authenticate. It does not send your server / license details – or any data from your activeCollab installation.

• My server is behind a firewall / under a VPN / intranet. Will Apps Magnet Auto Updater work with it?
