Managed Software Update (Mac)

Standard Update Procedure

Software updates must be performed on all CEHD computers.  On Apple computers, the Managed Software Update program allows individuals to install and perform most all of these updates without the need for Administrative Access.  Please note, not all software programs may be updated through the Managed Software Center at this time (EX: Microsoft Office 2011).

  1. Locate the Managed Software Update application shortcut in the Applications Folder.

     
  2. Open the program and you will be greeted by a list of optional software applications available to your computer.  You may install any of these programs on your computer by pressing the gray Install icon next to the desired program.

     
  3. If required updates are available (EX: Apple Software Updates), they will be listed under the Updates icon.  Select the Update icon at the top right of the screen.  The program will automatically scan and pull provided updates from the server.  Should no updates be available, your screen will look similar to the image below:

     
  4. If updates are available after the scan completes, you will be prompted to install the items now, log out and update, or cancel and update later.
