SEC - Creating subscriptions in Update Manager

Question

Hi,

My appologies for this possibly "too" easy to answer question but I'm new to Sophos.

I'm trying to create a subscription on a fresh install of SEC 4.5 via update manager. After adding it succesfully SEC tells me this:
The new software subscription "....." is not in use yet. You must configure update manager to distribute the subscribed software to a share and then configure one or more updating policies to fetch software from that share.

Can someone please tell me how to do this or point me to the specific location in a document?

Thanks

P.S.: To create poilicies is not the question, I just don't get how to link them to the subscription.

Hi,

If you go into the SUM list view. Double click on the SUM to bring up the configuration. From there you can work through the tabs from left to right I would suggest. On the tab that deals with subscriptions ensure your new subscription is on the right. I.e. that the SUM is subscribed to use this subscription.

In the updating policies you also select the subscription.
