Pattern shows old version on web admin dashboard.

1RegularJoe

somehow there is a problem that when a new pattern is installed it does not show up on the web admin dashboard.  I get an email that the pattern is now 9.8302 but this is what the web portal shows:

Firmware version:        9.351-3
Pattern version:        91027

I am using the home use version running on VMware ESXi 6.0

    I'm not saying ignore, just the pattern version number is not the whole story. :)

    If you go to Management > Up2Date > Configuration, you can set how often patterns and firmware updates are checked for. The different areas that pattern updates covers get updated anywhere from several times a day to once a month (AV patterns are frequent, GEOIP is once per month, as examples). Firmware is usually one per month for regular updates, but occasionally there is an emergency patch popped out.

    If you use the automatic intervals for check, patterns are also automatically installed, firmware will be downloaded only and you'll need to manually initiate the update or schedule it for updating at a time of your choosing. With firmware, when downloaded, you'll have access to the changelog at Management > Up2Date > Overview, before installing.
