This procedure ensures that you are using the latest version of myPDMtools on all the client workstations.


For this you have two solutions:


  1. Closing the Administration then restarting the server and restarting all client workstations.
  2. Closing the Administration and then launching the executable file PDMRestart on the server and on all client workstations.
