			===== How can I Install Updates =====
			There are multiple ways to get updates/patches, depending on wether you are connected to the internet or not, and if you want them to be automatically installed or not.

			======= Installation of Updates without Internet Access =======
			In an isolated lab, get the update/patch via a web browser (possibly on another machine).
			Goto "'Extras''" → "''Settings''" → "''Updates''" and click on the "Open Web Page" button at the bottom right.

			That will bring you to "https://download.exept.de/download/expecco/xx.yy.zz/patches",
			where "xx.yy.zz" is your expecco version number.

			If a "Not found" error happens, there are no patches for this version (yet).
			Otherwise, you find a list of patch files (named ".expeccoPatch") and corresponding info files, which give a short description of what issue was fixed by the corresponding patch.
			Save the patch file(s) to any folder (tmp-folder will do) or a transport medium.

			Bring the patch files to your machine, and install them via the
			"'Extras''" → "''Maintenance''" → "''Install Patch from File''" menu function.

			======= Installation of Updates without Internet Access from another Expecco =======
			If you have multiple machines within the same local intranet (which is not connected to the outside world),
			the above needs to be done only once. Then that machine can be configured to provide the patch files to all other expeccos in your LAN:
			* on the first machine (the "master"/"patch provider"), perform the above steps.
			* then (on that machine) enable the "patch providing" service via "''Extras''" → "''WebServices''" → "''Patches Service for Other Expeccos''" → "''Start''"
			* on all other machines, goto "'Extras''" → "''Settings''" → "''Updates''", and enter the hostname or IP address of the patch provider into the "Update Host" field.

			======= Installation of Updates via the Licence Server or Expecco ALM/AIDYMO Server =======
			Same as above, but either check the "Fetch expecco Updates from Licence Server" box, or enter the hostname/IP address of the Server into the "Update Host" field.

			On the Licence Server, patches should be uploaded in the "Settings" → "Patches" tab.

			======= Auto Installation of Updates (with Internet Access) =====
