Each time you start the program, MAXQDA will check the MAXQDA website to see if an updated version is available. If an update is available, it is recommended that you download it in order to benefit from interesting new features and enhancements.
You can access MAXQDA’s settings via the 
Help icon in the bottom left corner of the window. There, you will find the option to disable automatic update checks—though this is generally not recommended.
If you have opted to skip an update, you can later request it manually: Click on the question mark in the bottom left corner of the MAXQDA main window and select the option Search for Updates.
Please note:
- You need admin rights to install the update on your computer.
- If you are using a MAXQDA network license, it may be possible that your network admin has deactivated the automatic search for updates. In this case, MAXQDA will not check for an update each time you start the program and you will also not find the option in the help menu.
