Every update release consists of at least one new feature, enhancements, and fixes. It requires changes from both the Manager and Sensor components. It is recommended that the Manager software version is always higher or more recent than the Sensor Software version as the Manager manages the Sensors. The Manager handles the latest and the older Sensor software versions. This software version compatibility is maintained by segment version numbering that the Manager sends to Sensors as part of the compiled configuration. So, maintaining compatible software versions is suggested.
Refer the following table to for compatible Manager and Sensor software versions.
