In assessment environments—whether schools, coaching centres, certification bodies or government exam units—optimising accuracy, speed and compatibility of your OMR processing workflow is essential. The latest features, and performance enhancements help you stay ahead and deliver reliable results.
With the Addmen OMR Software, updates are an integral part of how we ensure you have a smooth and scalable experience.
Our dedicated development team constantly monitors user feedback and operational error-cases to deliver enhancements. Over a decade of user experience underpins our continuous improvement approach.
Major version releases occur approximately once a year, introducing new modules and major feature upgrades.
Minor upgrades and bug-fix releases are issued about every 15 days (fortnightly) to keep the software compatible and reliable.
Updates are available in downloadable ZIP packages (.exe files), which licensed users can install easily.
Updates are free of cost for users who have an active support term (either the first year after purchase or if they have a valid Annual Maintenance Contract – AMC).
If your support term has lapsed, your software licence continues to function, but you will not be eligible for updates.
Visit our updates page on the Addmen website (link on home screen or user-support section).
Download the latest ZIP/executable file.
Unzip and replace the existing programme EXE in your Addmen folder (no need to reinstall full setup unless you are moving to a new computer). User manual explains the process.
Verify the version number within your software home screen to confirm update success.
Ensures compatibility with new scanner drivers, sheet layouts, operating system updates.
Fixes for bugs, mis-reading issues, speed improvements.
Access to new features and modules added in major versions.
Maintains security and integrity of the OMR processing workflow—important for large-scale exam environments.
Reduces downtime and risk of mis-evaluation due to outdated software.
Prior to uploading live data, test the updated version in a sandbox or small roll-out to ensure no custom processes break.
Maintain a backup of your prior working version so you can rollback if necessary.
Keep your AMC/support term active to stay eligible for updates.
Communicate update availability to your operations/IT team so scanning lots aren’t interrupted.
Review release notes (version log) to acquaint your team with any new features, changes or deprecations.
Q1: Are updates mandatory?
A: No — you may continue using your current version, but you will miss out on new features and compatibility improvements.
Q2: What happens if I skip several updates and upgrade later?
A: You can install the latest version; older data and sheet designs will be retained. However, you should verify that any integrations or custom modules remain compatible.
Q3: I have multiple branches scanning sheets remotely—will update affect connectivity?
A: No — updates focus on the reader module and do not alter standard network or scanning processes. Still, it is good practice to update all terminals uniformly.
Q4: Do I have to pay for updates after the first year?
A: Only if your support term has ended. Active users with AMC or still in first year get updates free.
