Purpose

Licensing and settings are accessed via the CSD Buddy App that resides in the Taskbar.

The CSD Buddy App operates as a persistent client service that is responsible for automating updates for the installed CSD applications, controlling licensing and defining Connection Settings. The service is delivered as a centralised client service which communicates between the web based Update Server and the installed CSD application.

Usage

Select Licence and Settings from the CSD Buddy App to display the CSD Licensing dialog.

The CSD Licensing dialog lists all CSD installed applications (including the CS Design Update Service) on the left side and when a product is selected, the associated licence details are visible in the About tab.

Licences are activated or deactivated by selecting the Licence Request tab and proxy server details can be entered via the Connection Settings control.

Select Check for Update from the CSD Buddy App to display a summary of the currently installed versions on the local machine.

Select the links to view the update history for the associated application and enable updates to be installed if prompted.
