If you do not have access to the delivery email, please contact SQL Spreads support at support@sqlspreads.com to get the link to the installation file.

Upgrading SQL Spreads

To upgrade your SQL Spreads installation, run that installer on top of your current installation. SQL Spreads will detect that there is an existing installation and do an upgrade.

Then restart Excel and you will have the latest version of SQL Spreads.

Auto updates for latest SQL Spreads version

With this new feature, SQL Spreads automatically checks for updates once per day when you start Excel.

If a new version is available:

To update, click the Update button and download the latest release from the download page that

Manually check for updates

To manually check for updates, click the new Check for updates item in the Help menu:

Disable Check for Updates

You can disable the check for update by setting the Disable_CheckForUpdate registry key to 1.

These are the steps required to Disable the Update check:

1. Open the Registry Editor on your computer.
2. Navigate to the SQL Spreads registry path at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Obnex Technologies AB\Obnex SQL Spreads
3. Locate or create the Disable_CheckForUpdate key.
4. Set the value of the key to 1.

This will prevent SQL Spreads from automatically checking for updates.
