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:
– A 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. Examples of Extra
packages:
