Zusammenfassung:Method and system for updating a software program stored and executable in an IP client (6). The IP client (6) is connected to a gateway server (4), which is connected to a head end facility (1) via a network (2). The method comprises interrogating an IP client (6) and receiving from the IP client (6) a current list of software program files including a latest version identifier for each of the software program files, receiving from the head end facility (1) a central list of latest version identifiers of software program files, and comparing the current list with the central list. If for a specific software program file a newer version identifier exists, the software program file associated with the newer version identifier is downloaded from the head end facility (1), and the newer version of the software program file is transferred to the IP client (6).
