In the ETH self service you can find applications on demand and scripts. You can start them by clicking on “install” below the application.

Application Updates

Some applications will automatically perform the update, they use the implemented update function. These applicatinons are Google Chrome and Sophos.

We have a lot of software that does the update in the background. This affects the following list of applications:

•  
• Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
  Adobe Flash Player
  Dropbox
  ETH Printers
  Firefox
  Polybox

If you get a message, that you have to update Zoom and you can’t do it, just close this Application > reopen and the application should be updated.

 

All other applications can be updated with the ETH Self Service.
Please check the “Updates” category regularly. If you see an application in that section just click on Update and the application should be updated and dissappear from the Updates section.
