Polycom, Inc.

description CMA Desktop - shipped version—is available for the Polycom 

CMA Desktop client. Default automatic software update profiles are not 

available for other endpoint systems. To create an automatic software update 

profile, you upload the software package and create a profile for the update.

After creating an automatic software update profile, you can use the Version 

to use and Allow this version or newer selections to manage the roll out of 

software update packages. These selections also allow you to manage the 

release of multiple software packages for the same endpoint type.
Here’s how it works: All endpoints have a current version of software. To 

automatically overwrite that current software with a different software 

version on all dynamically managed endpoint systems:

You first create a new automatic software update profile that includes the 

new software update package. 

Then to activate the roll out, you change the Version to use selection 

from the current value (None by default) to the new version number and 

Update the page.

The next time a dynamically managed endpoint polls the CMA system, it will 

detect that it has a different software version than the Version to use selection, 

so it will automatically download and install the identified software update 

package. Use this method to force users to use a specific software version.

If you also enable the Allow this version or newer selection, anytime you 

package a newer version of software into an automatic software profile that 

package will be automatically installed on all dynamically managed endpoint 

systems. 
Some important things to note about software versions
• Newer software is identified by the version number. If the Allow this 

version or newer selection is enabled, when a dynamically managed 

endpoint polls the CMA system, the system will compare the current 

software version number with the packaged software version numbers. 

The CMA system will send the software package with the highest version 

number to the endpoint.

• You can also use the Version to use selection to roll endpoints back to 

older software versions. If you change the Version to use selection to an 

older software version and clear the Allow this version or newer 

selection, the CMA system will send the specifically identified software 

package to the endpoint even if it is an older version.

Until the Version to use selection is enabled, the automatic software update is not 
activated.
