Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 should be configured to check for updates automatically when you start the program (it is set that way by default). If Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 isn't checking for updates automatically, it's possible that you or someone else inadvertently made changes to the program's settings.
Modifying the automatic update settings is an administrative task, you must provide the administrator’s credentials to change the configuration. If you are logged on to the computer using the administrator account, the User Account Control will display a ‘prompt for consent’ box. You'll have to click the ‘Yes’ button to allow the modifications to take place.
If you are logged on with a standard user account, the User Account Control will display a ‘prompt for credentials’ box where you are required to provide the administrator’s username and password to continue with the configuration.
By following the instructions given in this tutorial, you will be able to re-enable the settings in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 to make the program check for updates when you start it.
