Does the Paint Manager program need to be “ON” or running to receive updates?
No. The PaintManagerâ„¢ program MUST NOT be open or running during the information transfer. For the Internet Update utility to function, the computer must be powered on and the Internet Update utility running but minimized. Beginning on the December 2010 PaintManagerâ„¢ CD release, the software will automatically shut down at a specified time. This will allow your Internet Update application to run and provide you with the most up-to-date color formulas and program updates. The user simply needs to start the PaintManagerâ„¢ program the next day.
