Automated software updates

About

Updating your Lunar Control Center and device software to the latest version is crucial for the security of your device fleet.

We've made the update process easy, through the integration with our update server.

You can benefit from secure OTA updates on your Lunar Control Center, Devie Operating System, and applications, all easily managed through the LCC Console.

• Expiration time for an update notifications [minutes]: defines for how long should an update notification be kept if you have not downloaded the app. This value is relevant if you have disabled Automatic APK download.

Once clicked, you will be taken to the menu with requested applications that are available for downloading. In the menu, you will be able to download the new version of the app by clicking on the download icon.
