Updates are stored on ClearPass’s webservice server. The ClearPass Policy Manager server periodically communicates
with the webservice to inquire about available updates. You can download and install these updates directly from
this Software Updates page using your Subscription ID. The first time the Subscription ID is saved, the ClearPass
Policy Manager contacts the webservice to download the latest Posture & Profile Data Updates and a list of
available Firmware & Patch Updates.
