AIS 5.1 Beta Updates and Automatic Updates
« on: November 12, 2010, 04:33:34 PM »
If automatic updates are turned on will AIS automatically update through the beta cycle?

Do you have to turn on manual updates during the beta cycle in order to update only the most recent virus definitions without updating the program until after the beta cycle is completed?

You have to install a first Avast! 5.1 BETA, but you can do that over your current Avast! 5.0 installation. Within the BETA everything regarding upgrading/updating works than exactly the same. Also the upgrade to a 5.1 release when it is available, can be done from the the BETA :)

Beta builds are never installed on normal updates.

Only those that wish to participate in the beta/pre-release versions and download it will be involved. Watch out for any beta/pre-release notification for avast 5.1 in these forums. Details on what to do (download and how to install, etc.) will be given in that notification.
