Minor Updates

By default, the Autoupdate and install option is enabled for a private agent (Private Agent Registrator > Options > Autoupdate) and the version is updated automatically in case of minor updates ( Y or Z numbers were changed in X.Y.Z version number).

Note that automatic updates are turned off automatically if you select to activate an older version of the Private Agent app on your machine.

If the Autoupdate and install option is not enabled, follow the instructions from the How to Manually Update Private Agent Version to update the version manually.
