5.6 Updating Avira SMC
It is very important to keep your software up to date and to make sure the
components’ versions are compatible. You can easily update Avira SMC’s
components: SMC Frontend, SMC Server with all its services and the SMC Agents.
Avira SMC has an Internet connection to the Avira GmbH public servers and is able
to download and install available SMC updates.
In order to perform Avira SMC updates, you need an Internet connection and you have
to open the necessary ports in your network firewall.
During installation of updates, the connection to SMC Server will be interrupted and the
SMC Frontend must be closed.
Apart from executing
direct updates
, the Security Management Center supports
automatic updates :
• via the Internet Update Manager or
• through scheduled update tasks (see Creating a Server Update Task –
Page 49), if the Automatic mode is inactive.
