Applying Maintenance to Linux/Unix and Windows Agents
The procedure for applying maintenance to Linux/Unix and Windows Agents is the same as the procedure for upgrading Linux/Unix and Windows Agents, which includes downloading and installing a platform-specific Agent from the Stonebranch Customer Portal.
