Genetec Update Service

The Genetec™ Update Service (GUS) is automatically installed with most Genetec™ products and enables you to update products when a new release becomes available.

You can use GUS to do the following:
  • Update your Genetec™ products when a new release becomes available.
  • Check for updates at regular intervals.
  • Download update packages in the background. Updates must be manually installed.
  • See when the system was last checked for updates.
  • Automatically refresh the license in the background to ensure it is valid and the expiration date is updated.
    NOTE: Applies to subscription systems only.
  • Enable various features, such as the Genetec Improvement Program.
  • Review your firmware versions, get notified of vulnerabilities or recommended upgrades, and download firmware updates as recommended by Security Center.
  • Automatically update the license after a major Security Center upgrade.
