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
