help me understand the upgrade use-case better..

from Stardock Forums
so i have MP 1.02 on Primary and Secondary. I wish to upgrade to 1.05 on my Primary, i open Stardock Center. there is 1.05! i click "install", it installs and everything is great (aside from required reboot..) now i have 1.05 Primary, and 1.02 Secondary. My first instinct, given the nature of the product, is that in the Primary config window, i would be able to "push" the upgrade to the secondaries. after all, this is all about connecting machines, right? but, it doesn't appear thats possible. thats cool - thats really just a "nice to have" feature anyway. so, how to get it on my secondary? i go to Stardock Central again, but there doesn't appear to be a way to download and save the MSI file off anywhere, so i can copy it over to install. any ideas? Loading stardock central and reentering my serial #'s is not something i'm really interested in doing on the secondary, btw. While in this state, being in the habit of using MP, i swing my cursor over to my secondary. its gone. now my primary is w/o keyboard and mouse, and i can't control my secondary. Hard Reset require on my primary to get it back (hope you saved your work!) to me, this seems like a common thing a normal person would do with this software. please help me understand where i'm going wrong.

I did what was intuitive to me: the software is independant on each machine. I don't want it to push versions without my interaction. So installed the update through SDC on each machine.
I think that is much clearer than one PC pushing to another.

to have a button to say "install on secondary" or "upgrade secondary" have it push the install over hte network to the secondary seems pretty natural to me. however, i get your point that they operate independently. if that is the case, there should be a much easier way to get the software to the secondary without having to install the stardock central software on each box. its overkill.
