View Description
Update Notifications The Update Notifications view is where you enable FlexNet Connect for your original
installation.
General Information View
The General Information view contains basic information about your setup, your company, and the
application that you are installing. Some of the information you enter in this view is for your reference
only, some is necessary to comply with Windows logo requirements, and the rest is for configuring basic
installation settings.
When you create a new installation project, you must configure its General Information view settings.
InstallShield creates new projects with default settings, but you should set your own values so that your
project includes data that is specific to your needs.
The General Information view consists of the following elements:
• A row of buttons
• A grid of settings
The following table describes the buttons that are displayed in the General Information view.

Caution: Enabling automatic update notifications in your project adds about 600 KB of
files to your installation. These files must be distributed with your application in order for
FlexNet Connect to work. If you cannot afford to include these files in your installation
because of bandwidth limitations or other reasons, you can select No to disable automatic
update notifications. However, FlexNet Connect cannot be used to deploy an update unless
automatic notification is enabled in the original installation when you distribute it to your end
users. Therefore, if you select No, you will not be able to later take advantage of the
automatic update notification features.
