Upgrading using the CM Software Management dialog box
The CM Software Management Dialog box in the Avaya Software Update Manager is used to
install and upgrade the CM Server (Media Server) software and install license or authentication
files to the software repository on the CM Server. You can perform upgrades on multiple servers
at the same time.
Note:
Note: The CM Software Upgrade/Update dialog box is only accessible from the CM
Software Management tab in the Software Update Manager Target table.
The CM Software Upgrade/Update tab enables you to copy a release from an HTTP
server to the hard drive of one or more CM Servers. You can choose the source
location of the release you want to download, copy and/or install a release, and install
associated updates, license files, and authentication files.
Upgrading and updating Media Server releases

Update Manager.
The Avaya Software Update Manager automatically attempts to connect to the Avaya
Support Web site. If the Avaya Software Update Manager connects to the Avaya Support
Web site, the Avaya Software Update Manager window appears and displays the Targets
