This How-to covers downloading Prevail updates.

You'll want to always ensure that your Prevail 9 is running the latest update to the program. Otherwise, you may miss out on new features that are constantly being added. This is where the Prevail Control Panel comes into play! You'll also use the Control Panel to maintain your database files.

When a Prevail update is available, you’ll see a message on the Prevail login screen stating, “A Prevail update is available.” You may download Prevail updates from any workstation and the update will apply to all workstations regardless of which PC was used to download the update.
