1.If the icon-updates-distributed marker in the Current column is set, the current revision is distributed to stations.

2.If the icon-updates-distributed marker in the Current column is not set, the revision that precedes the current one is distributed to stations.

The date the product revision was received.

If the revision is frozen, the blocking status displays in the column as well.

Downgrade Product Revision

The ability to downgrade products installed at stations to previous versions is determined by the following provisions:

•Products with databases (virus databases, SpIDer Gate databases, Anti-spam databases, Dr.Web Agent for Android) always can be downgraded to a previous version.

•To downgrade the Dr.Web Agent for Windows, you must enable the Allow revisions downgrade option in the Update restrictions section.

warning

If you downgrade the Agent for Windows to a previous revision (to install the previous version of the Agent on stations), the stations will be forced to restart at interval of five minutes. You cannot change the interval or cancel the restart. Station users are notified about the upcoming restart in the popup message.

•Other products (particularly, Trusted applications of the Application Control component) will ne downgrade if the Receive the latest updates flag is set in the Update restrictions section, or they are downgraded to revision marked as Current in the detailed configuration of the repository. In all other cases the downgrade is not performed, the Server waits for new revision.
