Manage BT Updater Enterprise Client Subscriptions

The following features are available on the Client Subscriptions page:

View client machines that are configured to receive updates from the BT Updater Enterprise server.
Lock subscriptions to specific versions of products.
Unlock your subscriptions.
Set throttling rates that apply when updates are uploaded to client machines.
Copy policy settings to the BT Updater Enterprise client machine (enabled by default).

Any changes that you apply on the Client Subscriptions page are reflected on the Activity Feed page. Client subscriptions apply to individual clients as configured on the Client Subscriptions page. They are unrelated to the subscriptions listed on the Subscriptions page, which are specific to the BT Updater Enterprise server itself.

To lock a different version, select the version from the dropdown list in the Details pane, and then click Lock.

Once you have locked a version, you have committed to update to that version at scheduled settings.

When you are ready to download and install new updates for the subscription, click the More Options (vertical ellipsis) icon, and then select Unlock from the menu.
