4.12. Updates

The appliance retrieves its updates from a download server of LSE Leading Security Experts GmbH. An update key is used to authenticate the appliance on the update request.

A hardware appliance uses an internal update key, so you do not need to worry about the procedure. If you are running a virtual appliance, the updates are based on the serial number, you entered during installation.

On the tab System → Updates you can specify when the system should look for updates automatically and if it should reboot when the kernel was updated. As kernel updates can happen every time, you can also configure to boot the machine automatically on certain days of the week.
