NetMRI provides three options for updating the software manually:

- By configuring NetMRI to automatically download and install the update.
- By downloading the update from the Infoblox Technical Support website, then manually initiating the installation.
- By receiving an update file sent via e-mail, then manually initiating the installation.

The top of the NetMRI screen automatically notifies you when updates are available to the software. Updates come in two forms: Major Updates and Hotfixes. NetMRI automatically installs hotfix updates.

> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ To check the update history, go to the **Settings** icon > **General** **Settings** > **Update** **History **page. The page contains information about all the updates that took place on the local NetMRI system.

For manual installation, a NetMRI Administrator only needs to start the update process at a convenient time and provide any inputs requested. After that, the process is automatic, with no more inputs required.

See the following sections for manually updating the NetMRI software:
