If your organisation needs to disable the 'check for updates' option in the Acquisition Agent, follow these steps:
Step 1: Locate the Configuration File
Navigate to the AcquisitionAgent.ini file. This file is typically found in the installation directory of the Acquisition Agent.
Open the file using Notepad or another text editor.
Step 2: Modify the Setting
Scroll down to find the
[Debug]section.Locate the following line:
HideCheckForUpdatesLink = False
Change
FalsetoTrue, so it looks like this:HideCheckForUpdatesLink = True
Step 3: Save and Apply Changes
Save the file and close the text editor.
Restart the Acquisition Agent for the changes to take effect.
After disabling
The "Check for Updates" link will no longer appear in the user interface.
Users will not be able to manually check for or trigger updates.
IT administrators can still manage updates centrally as needed.
By following these steps, corporate-managed sites can maintain full control over software updates while ensuring a stable and consistent system for all users.
