UserGate Management Center allows you to create a centralized policy for updating the UserGate software (UGOS) and updatable libraries provided on subscription (URL filtering category database, IDPS, IP address/URL/MIME type lists etc.).
Note
After adding a UserGate MD to UGMC management, the UserGate device starts automatically downloading all updates from the UGMC server.
To configure update management using UGMC, follow these steps:

Step 1. Configure an update check schedule. |
An update check schedule defines the time and frequency of checking for updates. It can be configured locally on each UserGate device or centrally using UGMC templates. The configuration is done identically in both cases. A local update check schedule is configured in the General settings section of the device's web management console. When UGMC is used, the schedule is configured in the General settings section of a UGMC template. For more details on how to configure an update check schedule, see the chapter General Settings of UserGate 7. Administrator Guide. |

Step 2. Configure a software update policy for UserGate devices. |
A software update policy allows you to specify an update available for installation on all or selected MDs. For more details on updating software, see the section Software Updates. |
|
Step 3. Configure a library update policy for UserGate devices. |
A library update policy allows you to select the desired library updates for installing on MDs. For more details on libraries updates, see the section Libraries Updates. |
