Basic functions

Installing an extension

The NN Extension Manager allows you to install extensions with a single click.  If you’ve found the extension you want to install, click the “Install” button.  After you’ve confirmed you want to install the extension, you’ll see a screen saying “Installing…”

Once the installation is done, you’ll be notified.  The screen will look like below:

Upgrading an extension

Fun fact: Yes, you can update the Extension Manager using the Extension Manager…

Update or install multiple extensions

The Nonumber Extension Manager also allows you to update or install multiple extensions at once.  To do so, you need to use the buttons above the list.

• Install all: When you click this button, all Nonumber extensions will be installed.  Keep in mind that it might take a while to install all the extensions.  Also, ask yourself this question: Do you really need to install all those extensions?
   
• Update all: Clicking this button will upgrade all extensions that can be upgraded.  This too can take a while if you’ve got many extensions that need to be upgraded.
   
• Install / Update Selected: Allows you to check the extensions you want to upgrade or install.  By clicking this button they’ll all be installed or updated at the same time.  We double-checked:  It’s possible to update extensions AND install new ones at once.

Installing license codes

The NoNumber Extension Manager also allows you to install the Nonumber license codes.  Installing these license codes is simple, depending on the type of license key you purchased.

•  Single extension code:  Enter the license code in the appropriate field, and click the “Save” button.
   
• All licenses key: To install a license key for all extensions, you need to enter it at the license key field at the top, and then click the “Save” button.

And that's all there is to it! If you're ever planning to use a Nonumber extension, this is the first one you'll want to install.  I hope this manual helped you to understand this component better.
