An important means of ensuring the security is an efficient SiteUpdate technology, which allows downloading and installing the latest updates of the Bitrix Site Manager software quickly without any assistance of technical specialists.
A unique SiteUpdate technology allows downloading the software updates and new modules at no extra cost. Data is downloaded from the Bitrix company site via the web interface of the software administrative section. The updates do not affect the public section of a site, thus completely eliminating the loss of data.
Before downloading updates, the user is prompted to enter the software license key. After checking for the available updates, a user is offered to choose which updates and modules to download. First, all updates and new modules are compressed, and then downloaded to the user’s server. The data compression increases speed of the software updates download significantly.
Thus the software licensee can keep the system up-to-date and obtain new modules without any hassle.
