The Quickmap Data Download Manager lets you automatically download and install data updates from Custom Software Limited. It works similarly to Windows Updates—you can set it to update automatically or manually click Download Now whenever needed.

It can also be configured to copy updates internally from your server to multiple standalone computers in your office.

Note: The Data Download Manager is not installed automatically with Quickmap. You can easily install it by running DataDownloadServiceSetup.msi, found in the Quickmap data folder after installing Quickmap Version 8.2 or higher. You can also download it directly from:

Prerequisites

• Ensure Quickmap Version 8.2 or higher is installed.
• If you need the latest Quickmap version, download it here: Quickmap v8.2+

⚠️ Quickmap v8.2+ is required for the Data Download Manager to function.

Installation Steps

1. Install Quickmap v8.2 or higher.
2. Double-click DataDownloadServiceSetup.msi from the Quickmap data folder or download it from: Quickmap Data Download Manager
3. Click Next.
4. Tick the box to accept the EULA and click Next.
5. Confirm the install location and click Next.
6. Select Quickmap Data Server and enter your Data Download Manager license (different from your Quickmap software license). Contact us if you don’t have a license.
7. Choose a folder for temporary download storage.
   • Usually, the default folder is fine.
   • ⚠️ Do not set this as your main Data Directory (this folder is only temporary).
   • The Quickmap Data Directory will be greyed out—it is pulled from your Quickmap installation.
8. Click Install, then Finish.

⚠️ The Data Download Manager must now be configured before it can download updates.

Configuring Automatic Updates

1. Open the Data Download Manager.
2. Tick Install data updates automatically.
3. Set your preferred start time for updates.

⚠️ We recommend scheduling updates overnight to minimize disruption, however your PC must be left ON for the update to run

⚠️ After installation, updates will become available with the next scheduled download.

The Quickmap Data Download Manager will now run automatically, downloading and installing updates each day at your chosen time.

Manual Updates & Restore Options

• Manually download and install updates: Click Download Now, then Install Now.
• Roll back updates: Up to two previous versions are stored. Click Restore and select a month to restore from.

This gives you full control, whether you prefer automated updates or occasional manual updates.

That’s it! Once configured, the Quickmap Data Download Manager works in the background, keeping your data up to date and secure with minimal effort.
