Managing System Software

Warning

Updates are only available for licensed Policy Servers with an active Maintenance subscription.

Checking System Software Versions

In addition to the software installed on the Policy Server or the Network Sensor, the Policy Server may also store a software image to be used for updating at a later time. For example, a Policy Server with version 5.0.19 installed may have a copy of Version 5.0.20 that can be used for updating the Policy Server, Network Sensors, or Agents at a later time.

System > Update > Genian Software will display the newest version of software stored on your Policy Server, even if it is not installed.

You can see the software version installed on individual Policy Servers and Sensors by navigating to System in the top panel. All appliances will be shown in the view pane along with the installed software.
