I was wondering if there had been any thought into having an upgrade via web section in the FPMI gateway configuration. I know that when you install the software it asks if you want to go out on the web and check for a more updated version but I think it might be usefull to have a button or something in the configuration that can be password protected that would allow one to login to the gateway and do an upgrade. Just a thought. Have a great day.

Actually this has been phased out...

Yeah, we've had that thought as well. Something along these lines will be available, but you'll have to wait for the next major version.
