13. AVG Managed Update
Please Note: the AVG Managed Update service and all its settings are available
only if you use a proper license!
The AVG Managed Update is a service for our clients that enables forced AVG
updates invoked by the AVG Technologies corporation. Using the service, a
registered AVG Admin Server can be told by an external incentive (a special TCP/
UDP packet sent by a program residing at the AVG Technologies server) that a new
update is available. The update files are downloaded then and an update
notification is distributed to the defined AVG stations instantly (see the description
of the Client info tab for details).
Thus you can obtain and distribute the update immediately after its release. This is
another security enhancement, which helps keeping your system even more up-to-
date than regular scheduled update checking. But note that the scheduled update
does not lose its sense – on the other hand, we recommend you do not neglect the
proper setup of scheduled updates, for they can serve as a reserve when the AVG
Managed Update feature is not functional for any reason.
Note: Only a server with a public IP address can receive update notification
packets. And for a server in a firewall-protected network, the respective port (4157
by default) must be allowed for incoming connections.
The AVG Managed Update feature is controlled using a tab in the AVG Admin
Server Monitor. The application is accessible from the AVG 8.5 Remote
Administration folder of the All Programs folder in the Windows Start menu.
Press the Server settings button in the AVG Admin Server Monitor interface:
