  2. Place the files on a shared local network.

  3. Users must select the Use Custom Updates URL checkbox on the Application Settings page. (This setting overrides the Actify site links.)

  4. Enter the shared network URL in the text field.

  5. Click the Apply Settings button.

  6. Select Help > Check for Updates.
