# Update checker

{% hint style="info" %}
Available for KONNEKT 2.1 or newer
{% endhint %}

This policy defines if KONNEKT checks for software updates.

If the policy is enabled, KONNEKT will check for software updates and inform the user via a pop-up window to download the newer version. If the policy is disabled, no update checks take place, which means no pop-up window will show up.

**Policy name:** `Update check`
