Hi Scud,
Theorically Smode update can be automatically done from the preference panel (F11):
BUT: between v9.0 and V9.1 Smode Station was renamed into Smode Designer to let "Station" name be reserved for Software+Hardware Bundle.
This break the automatic update feature for this kind of update.
The next ones will succeed.
Sorry for this inconvenience,
I Will send you access by email right now.
Best regards
