39.3Check for Updates New in 2026
Speed Plus asks the server once and gives one of these answers:
| Answer | What to do |
|---|---|
| You already have the latest version (261030). | Nothing. You are up to date. |
| A new version (…) is available. You have …, followed by the What's new notes and "Update now?" | Press Yes to update now (39.4), or No to do it later. |
| Could not check for updates right now. … Please check the internet connection and try again. | Check the internet and try again. |
| Updates are not set up on this PC: SpeedPlusSetup.exe is missing from the Speed Plus folder. | This PC was installed the old way. Download the latest setup and run it once (1.4). After that Speed Plus can update itself. |
| A check is already running. Please try again in a moment. | Wait a few seconds and press it again. |

39.4The Update Strip: Update Now and Later New in 2026
You do not have to remember to check. About one minute after the main window opens, and then every four hours, Speed Plus checks quietly in the background. Billing is never held up by it. When a new version is out, a strip appears across the main window:
| Strip | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dark blue: "New version … is available." | An ordinary update. Buttons: What's new, Update Now, Later. |
| Red: "An update to Speed Plus … is required." | An update that must not be skipped. There is no Later button. A release that changes the database always comes this way. |
- Press What's new to read what the new version brings.
- Finish and save the bill you are on.
- Press Update Now. Speed Plus closes; a screen with unsaved work may ask you to save.
- The setup shows "Update in progress". It downloads only the files that changed.
- When it is done, Speed Plus opens again by itself.
Later hides the strip for that version. It comes back when an even newer version is released, and Help → Check for Updates still offers it.

39.5After an Update: What's New Once, and Going Back New in 2026
The first time the new version opens its main window, a box "What's new in Speed Plus …" lists the changes. It appears once only, even if you close it without reading.
If a new version fails to start properly, Speed Plus offers to go back at the next start:
Going back is offered only when the previous version is still kept on the PC and can open your data. After going back, the strip does not offer the same version again straight away. Tell your dealer, so the problem is fixed in the next release.
