# Check for Updates

This option checks whether there is a pending PizzaGest update for the branch and, if there is one, downloads and installs it.

**How to get here:** menu **Help → Check for updates**.

<p class="callout info">The option only appears on server number 1 of the branch (or on franchisee station number 1).</p>

<p class="callout warning">While PizzaGest is updating, no terminal must be connected. The process can take several minutes.</p>

## If there is a pending update

1. The **Updating PizzaGest...** screen appears.
2. PizzaGest downloads the update files.
3. If the update brings a new version of the program, PizzaGest closes in order to restart. If not, the update screen disappears and you carry on working.

<p class="callout warning">Do not touch anything until the update screen disappears or the program closes.</p>

## If there is no pending update

The keyboard appears with the title **Password**. It is used to force the download of the program and the printing service by hand.

- With the correct password, PizzaGest closes the printing service and the fingerprint program, downloads the files and restarts.
- With an incorrect password, the warning "The password is not correct." appears and nothing is updated.
- If you cancel the keyboard, nothing is done.

## Without a maintenance contract

If the branch has no maintenance contract, before starting the warning "This customer has no maintenance contract. Are you sure you want to update it?" appears. With **No**, nothing is done.
