Updating the eClinical Client Software
This document describes using the CwUpdate tool to update the eClinicalWorks client following a version upgrade.
Log in as the local administrator (pc-name\Administrator) and update the eCW client automatically:
Launch the application and log in. You will be prompted to upgrade.
Follow the prompts to have the utility download and install the upgrade. (note that the download is over 150MB.

When finished, the following window will open:
The update is complete, and you should now test the program to ensure that all features are working.
