For your privacy, no personal
information is captured by or sent
to Creative Labs during the
Software AutoUpdate process.
Only system information and
Creative product details are
required for the AutoUpdate
analysis. None of this information
can or will be used by Creative for
any other purpose.
Using Creative
Software
AutoUpdate Locating, downloading and installing updates for your Creative Products is now simpler and faster with
the new web-based Creative Software AutoUpdate system.
Instead of spending valuable time searching for individual files to download and install for each of your
installed Creative Products, let Creative Software AutoUpdate do the work for you.
When you connect to Creative Software AutoUpdate via the Internet, the website will analyze your
computer system to determine what operating system (OS), language and Creative products are installed
in your system.
After the online analysis, you will be able to select from a list of only the most relevant software and driver
updates. The files will then be dynamically retrieved and installed on your system for you. As the files are
customised for your specific OS, language and Creative hardware, they are smaller and take less time to
download, compared to the huge generic multi-language files available via non-customised software
downloads.
Points to note:
❑ First-time users of Creative Software AutoUpdate may be prompted to authorise the download of a
browser component required for system inspection. Ensure that the content is signed by Creative Labs,
Inc., and then click the Yes button.
❑ Ensure that all your Creative products are connected and installed on the same computer running
Creative Software AutoUpdate.
