By default, the Zappl agent regularly compares installed software versions on client machines to the latest available versions from vendors. When new updates are available, they are securely downloaded and cached locally. The Zappl agent then attempts to update the software silently.
Most apps in our catalog can only be updated safely when they're not running. If the apps are closed, the Zappl agent will update the software in the background without interrupting the user.
If an app is in use, the update remains cached locally, and the Zappl agent continues to attempt silent installation.
For apps that users rarely close, Zappl employs two strategies: automatic Scheduled Update Prompts and manual Forced Updates.
