5.8 Updating the AMC
For proper functioning, it is important that the software is always up-to-date and that the
versions of the individual components are compatible with each other. The AMC
components (AMC Frontend, AMC Server and all associated services, and the AMC
Agents) can be updated quickly and easily. The AMC establishes an Internet connection to
the servers for this purpose, downloads the available updates and installs them.
Internet access is required to update the AMC. Where necessary, you also have to open
the necessary ports in your network’s firewall. The firewall integrated into Windows Server
2003 and Windows Server 2008 is automatically appropriately configured by the AMC
Server, Avira Update Manager and Event Manager.
Note 
During installation of the updates, the connection to the AMC Server is
interrupted and the AMC Frontend must be closed.
If the automatic update mode is active, you will only be notified that new updates are
available for AMC Server and AMC Frontend.
