In the maxinterface.json file, I have done the following:

In the “commands” section, I have
{ “message” : “phonehome”,
“label” : “Check for Updates…”,
“target” : “max”,
“href” : “http://website.com“
}

In the “menus” section, I have added “phonehome” to both the “commands_runtime_mac” and “commands_runtime_windows” “Help” menus.

When I launch my standalone, I see Check for Updates… under the Help menu, but it doesn’t launch the web browser and go to the URL. Any suggestions on what I’m missing? Thanks.

I doubt that there’s a way to change the Help menu easily though.

I can put the item under another menu prompt, I just thought it made more sense under the Help menu like many other programs do. Thanks.
