(you could use the Check for Updates, but I find the Install New Software option faster).</LI><LI>When the Available Software dialog is displayed, select the software site that you setup for the Implementer plug-in.</LI><LI>If there is a new version of the plug-in available, it will be shown.</LI></UL><P></P><P>NOTES:</P><OL><LI>The Implementer plug-in is tied directly to the version of Implementer being used ... if there is a new version available the plug-in will require an update in order to function. </LI><LI>The Implementer plug-in does not rev very often. Usually only on a new Implementer version install/upgrade. Chances of an update being required is fairly slim.</LI></OL></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:16:24 GMT https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/Systems-Software-Engineering/How-to-check-for-updates-to-the-Implementer-Plug-in-for-IBM/m-p/123414#M1416 David_G 2015-04-01T13:16:24Z Re: How to check for updates to the Implementer Plug-in for IBM Rational Developer for i? https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/Systems-Software-Engineering/How-to-check-for-updates-to-the-Implementer-Plug-in-for-IBM/m-p/123415#M1417 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you for your reply.</P><P>Is there a chart listing Implementer level compatibility with Plug-in?
