Manual "Special Menu" Update

If you would prefer to do the update manually on the Server machine itself or download the file from a client and perform the update later on the Server, then select the Just Download It option of Genie Updater from Special > Software Updates.

Note: If you are downloading the file on a client machine and performing the update on the Server later then the downloaded file must be saved somewhere where the Server machine can access it across the network. You will then only need to perform steps 8-12 below on the Server.

1.  Ensure everyone is logged off and shut down the Genie Server (therefore typically a good time to do this is at close of business).

2.  Log into the Single User version of Genie on the Server (i.e 'Genie Solo' as opposed to 'Genie Server').

3.  Go to Special > Software Updates. Tick Genie Updater and click Install 1 Item

4.  Click the Just Download It button.

5.  Save the file to your DESKTOP, when prompted.

6.  Quit out of Genie Solo.

7.  Double click on the 'Genie_Updater' icon on your DESKTOP.

8.  Follow the prompts and allow the update to run.

9.  Log back into Genie Solo and click Update if prompted, and then quit out again.

10. Start Genie Server.

11. Log on Clients.

Offsite Logging Laptops

If any of the doctors use offsite logging then the single user version of Genie on the laptop will also need to be updated in order for offsite logging to function correctly:

If the laptop has a different platform to the server machine ie. Windows vs Mac or vice versa then perform steps 2-9 in the single user version of Genie on the laptop.

If the laptop has the same platform as the server machine ie. both Windows or both Mac then just log the laptop into the network and Genie will detect that the single user is out of sync with the network, prompting you to allow Genie to update the single user version.
