    So, when AP releases an update for a content that i own, how do i update it? Via the AP website and downloaded it again, or via the installer present in the file that i originaly downloaded?
    Thanks in advance!

    Via the AP website right?
    And if so, do i need to download again the "branding patch" and "extra stock", or just the main EP?

    If you look at the update log, it will tell you if you need to update extra stock or branding etc.

    To install.. just redownload, and install as normal.

    Remeber to delete the install files located at C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Downloaded Installations

    Wow never known about that folder. I used to clean the temp folder. Just cleared that folder out and I had nearly 50 gigs of installations. No wonder my hard drive seemed so full

    Cheers

    Even if the branding patch hasn´t been updated and doesn´t have to be redownloaded I think you still have to reinstall it after you installed the update. Personally I always download the branding patch after every update, it is such a small file anyway.

    Yeah I keep all the branding patches on a separate drive and just re-run after an update.
