That's the problem - these are not fixed packages and are liable to disappear at any time.
I was running SEC 5.2 when the first 10.3 came out. Like you I thought it was a fixed version and I updated my clients to this. A little while later, that version disappeared and another appeared so I had to manually change the subscription to that. Pain.
After upgrading to SEC 5.2.1 the new 'Preview' option appeared. OK, so I applied that to the clients, but there was no Recommended or Extended option available. Rather than force a downgrade to 10.2 Recommended, I left them as they were.
Now with the release of the latest 10.3.1, I've moved all my clients from Preview to Recommended and they have all changed from 10.3.2 VDL4.93 to 10.3.1 VDL4.94 - I have about 20 (out of 2500) in a failed state which will require a manual reinstall.
It would have been much better if Sophos had made it clear that it was not a good idea to move from 10.2 until after 10.3 was released.
