Note: On the Devices page, you can also right-click a managed device, or select
multiple devices of the same make and model, and then right-click to schedule an
upgrade.
3. Enter a name for the upgrade, the start and end time for the upgrade, and identify the
device or devices you want to upgrade.
Note: In an OpenLDAP installation, you cannot schedule upgrades beyond six
months.

devices, if you choose all-endpoints for the model, all managed video and voice
communications devices for the selected make appear in the Select devices list. This
feature enables you to upgrade multiple models that use the same upgrade package.
5. Select the individual devices from the list.
6. Choose the package you want to apply from the Packages list.

the Register Key text box.
Note: Support for upgrades to Polycom devices that require a registration or license
key is not available in this release.

upgrade immediately. If you choose Schedule, the event appears on the Events page
as a scheduled event.

menu; right-click the event, and then click Delete.
