Using iManage auto installer

iManage recommends you to install and upgrade iManage Work clients using the iManage auto installer which automatically downloads and installs iManage Agent Services and iManage Work Desktop for Windows detecting Microsoft Office bitness. This option has Auto Updates enabled that offer you the benefit of staying up-to-date with the latest features, enhancement, and/or bug fixes that are released by iManage. Updates are seamlessly installed on your desktop without uninstalling existing application(s).

Before starting the upgrade process, ensure that you configure the Auto Updates installation such that it includes both iManage classic clients and iManage Work Desktop for Windows. For information on configuring the Auto Updates installation, see Configuring iManage Work Auto-Update Installation.
