Each time I need to update or search to see if there is an update, I spend too much time trying to figure out how to wade through all the various avenues Bentley has to find the most recent version of AutoPIPE, and if I'm behind, then download the latest version. I try going through "Product Info", "Community", "Forum", "Technical Support". Why? Isn't one of the most common needs of the user to know what the most recent version of the software is? And then if behind, download the software? If I am logged into AutoPIPE, why can't I with a click of a button download the most recent version from the Help tab?
Phil,
After searching far and wide, I did eventually find the download on Connection Client.
What you are planning with the landing page, the comparison, and the download link would be appreciated at least by me!
Regards,

The route to software downloads in via the Connection Client for all our products, see below. You shouldn't have to look for the links and for generational minor updates you do get notified. That said the notification doesn't work for Generational updates so not perfect. We are designing a landing page that will show you your current version and compare it with the latest. This will also have a link to the software download and should satisfy this need.
