Software Auto Upgrade

The Auto Upgrade feature allows to update a flexiEdge device with the latest software. A flexiEdge device version is in the form of X.Y.Z where X is a major version, Y is a minor version and Z is a bug fix. flexiManage supports one major version backward compatibility. flexiEdge devices, which are two or more major version older than the current flexiEdge version will not be able to connect with flexiManage. It is recommended to always keep your flexiEdge devices up to date with the current version so you enjoy bug fixes and new features while also avoiding compatibility issues. Whenever a new version is available, a notification mark is shown near the devices that require an upgrade. In addition, the account owners would get an email about the new software version.

A flexiEdge device could be upgraded immediately or by a scheduled upgrade. Every flexiEdge version has a limit date. The flexiEdge device must be upgraded before that date, else, an automatic upgrade process will be initiated by flexiManageif on the limit date.
