# Updating the Windham Time Series Database

## Retrieving Time Series Updates From Our Servers

In the ribbon menu at the top of the application, select the Advanced tab

![WPA Advanced Ribbon Menu](/files/-MExeczeipvOYye0-iuv)

Click on the Update Time Series button and select "From Internet". You should see a dialog

![Update WPA Time Series from our servers](/files/-MExf7VD-UXSf6SubpXy)

This dialog will provide you information of the Windham-managed database timestamp in use, and what is available on our servers. If the two time stamps are out of sync, click the "Update" button and follow the on-screen instructions.

## Retrieving Time Series Updates Manually From Our Servers

An alternative method to the automatic retrieval of the Windham-managed time series database updates, you may also choose or need to download and update the database file manually. This is typically useful if your organization is behind a restrictive firewall that prevents communication between our servers and the installed desktop application.

To manually obtain the latest time series database update file, download and save the database as a zipped-archive from

In the Update File path control, browse to the location of the downloaded saved zipped-archive and select the zip-file. Click on Update and follow the on-screen instructions if applicable.
