To apply software updates:

  1. Select Configure System > View and Apply Software Updates > Apply UpdatesOK from the Clearswift Server Console main menu.
  2. Select Yes to confirm that you want to apply the updates.
    All downloaded updates will now be installed. This process can take several minutes. A rolling progress log will be displayed.

  3. When the Operation Complete message appears, select Done to complete the install process.
