Genetec Update Service

Use the Products tab to monitor and update Security Center products.

On the Main GUS, the Products tab displays servers and workstations in a grid view. The grid also shows any updates that are available for your system; you can find specific machines or updates using filters. A workstation GUS shows a list view of the products and updates for that particular machine.
Servers (Main GUS setting)
Lists the Directory, expansion servers, and secondary servers that are pending or enrolled by the Main GUS.

Workstations (Main GUS setting)
List of all machines that were enrolled by the Main GUS. For example, these machines might only have Security Center client applications installed.
If a recommended update has not been installed, the grid displays two columns. The Actual column displays the installed version; the Update column displays the recommended update. Clicking on a recommended update makes the following buttons available:
Download
Click to download all selected updates.
Download and install
Click to download and install all selected updates.
Install
Only visible when products are already downloaded. Click to install all the updates that are downloaded.
After downloading, the update packages are deleted after a retention period:
  • Security Center and other Genetec products: 30 days.
  • Firmware packages: 7 days.
NOTE: GUS only allows the download of automation packages if at least 2 GB of disk space remains free in the machine's main drive afterward.
