Working

with

license

agreements

Upon

searching

for

update

packages,

EasyUpdate

will

provide

update

packages

to

download

and

install.

Update

packages

can

contain

license

agreements.

If

you

store

update

packages

in

a

repository,

you

can

save

time

and

effort

by

using

silent

command

scripts

and

by

configuring

EasyUpdate

to

recognize

these

license

agreements

automatically.

To

configure

EasyUpdate

to

recognize

license

agreements

automatically,

set

the

following

registry

value

to

YES

:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\EasyUpdate

\Preferences\UserSettings\General\IgnoreLocalLicense

Note:

Using

silent

command

scripts

to

recognize

license

agreements

works

only

if

you

use

a

repository

to

store

update

packages.

If

you

obtain

packages

directly

from

the

Lenovo

Help

Center

Web

site,

silent

command

scripts

will

not

be

effective.

Using

EasyUpdate

When

using

EasyUpdate

to

search

for

update

packages,

EasyUpdate

will

display

search

results

in

four

categories:

Critical,

Recommended,

Optional,

and

Extra.

This

categorization

also

defines

the

severity

level

of

the

package.

For

an

description

of

each

category

see

the

following:

v

Critical

packages

are

considered

mandatory

for

your

system

to

function

properly.

Failure

to

install

these

packages

could

result

in

data

loss,

system

malfunction

or

hardware

failure.

You

can

choose

to

have

critical

updates

downloaded

and

installed

automatically

on

a

scheduled

basis.

Examples

of

critical

packages:

A

hard

disk

drive

firmware

update

that

if

not

applied

could

result

in

hard

disk

drive

failure.

A

BIOS

upgrade

that

if

not

applies

will

result

in

system

lags.

A

software

patch

to

an

application

that

if

not

applied

could

result

in

data

loss

on

your

system.

v

Recommended

packages

are

recommended

by

Lenovo

and

will

ensure

your

system

is

working

at

optimal

performance.

This

severity

level

should

be

the

default

for

most

drivers.

Examples

of

recommended

packages:

A

video

driver

that

corrects

an

issue

that

may

cause

blue

screen.

BIOS

update

that

contains

minor

fixes

that

may

impact

a

small

set

of

customers.

A

power

management

driver

that

will

allow

a

mobile

system

to

get

the

most

out

of

its

battery

life.

v

Optional

packages

will

improve

your

computing

experience,

but

are

not

necessary.

Examples

of

optional

packages:

tool

that

enables

you

to

migrate

files

from

one

system

to

another

such

as

ThinkVantage

®

Rescue

and

Recovery

®

.

Rescue

and

Recovery

is

not

needed

for

your

system

to

operate,

but

provides

benefit

if

you

choose

to

install

it.

Any

BIOS

or

driver

upgrade

that

has

been

updated

only

to

support

newer

systems

and

contains

no

fixes.

v

Extra

packages

can

consist

of

software,

hardware,

or

solution

offerings

to

help

you

keep

your

entire

system

performing

to

its

fullest

capacity.
