Problem:
Connection client will not show updates for all newer versions of AutoPIPE, however newer versions can be found on Software download site, why? see example below
Examples:
Trying to upgrade AutoPIPE 11.02 to a newer version. If AutoPIPE 11.02 is currently installed and both versions of AutoPIPE 11.04 and AutoPIPE 12.01 are available. Will Connection Client show both version in update?
Solution:
If you answered NO, congratulations you are correct.
If you answer Yes, read below:
Understand that CONNECTION Client will only indicate latest update for the Major Version Year release number (AA) [understanding release numbers] of the version that you currently have installed . At this time, May 2019, CONNECTION Client does not indicate software updates available across Major Enhancement release numbers. Another words, if you have AutoPIPE 11 installed, Connection Client would only show updates where the Major Version Year release number (AA). All other software versions starting with a different Major Version Year release number (AA) will be ignored.
Scenario #1:
AutoPIPE 11.02 is presently installed on a computer. The Connection Client update button was pressed sometime in September 2018 to see whether there were any AutoPIPE upgrades that were more recent than 11.02. What version will be displayed in the Connection Client given that AutoPIPE 11.3 and 11.4 have already been made available at this point?
Answer:
If you answered only 11.4, congratulations you are correct.
If you answer anything else, read below:
Once more, Software download should only be showing the latest version available on this date, v.11.04. All other versions (ex. 11.3) should have been archived. Therefore, only version 11.4 would be indicated in Connection Client as an available update.
Scenario #2:
AutoPIPE 11.02 is presently installed on a computer. The Connection Client update button was pressed on May 31, 2019 to see whether there were any AutoPIPE upgrades that were more recent than 11.02. What version will be displayed in the Connection Client given that AutoPIPE 11.3, 11.4, 12.0 and 12.01 have already been made available at this point?
Answer:
If you answered none of the above, congratulations you are correct.
If you answer anything else, read below:
Once more, Software download should only be showing the latest version available on this date, v12.04. All other versions (ex. 11.3, 11.04, and 12.0) should have been archived. Therefore, only version 12.4 would be indicated. However, since the only available version in Software Download had a Major Version Year release number (AA = 12) which is greater than that installed value (AA =11), Connection Client definition of update would prevent anything from being indicated. Again, no updates would be indicated even though 4 additional release were made available.
Scenario #3:
Upgrading from AutoPIPE 12.00 to 12.01 on May 31, 2019.
Will CONNECTION Client indicate an update is available?
Answer:
Yes, there will be an update indication within CONNECTION Client.
IF NOT, see procedure here to check for updates

What is the latest version of AutoPIPE currently available? |
As of Aug 2023, Connection Client developers define an update as an increase in the following parts of a version number (see Understanding Software Version Number Format):
BB - Major Version Sequence number
CC - Minor version release number
DDD - Build iteration number
As demonstrated above, there will be no indication of a higher version being available if the version's "AA - Major Version Year release number" were increased from that currently installed.
Try to remember, AutoPIPE's development team aims to deliver two to three additional versions every year. Periodically spend time using one or more of the options below checking for the most recent program version.
