Enterprise Recon 2.1
Agent Upgrade
To upgrade, re-install the Agent. See Install Node Agents for instructions for your Agent platform.
Agents do not require an upgrade unless a feature available in an updated version of the Agent is needed. Older versions of the Agent are compatible with newer versions of the Master Server.
Version 2.0.15 of the Linux Node Agent works with Master Servers running version 2.0.15 and above.
Upgrade your Agent to the corresponding Agent version to use the following features:

This updated approach greatly simplifies the scanning of Amazon S3, allowing you to automatically include all accessible Buckets within a given AWS user account or alternatively select specific S3 Buckets. | Windows, Linux, macOS | 2.0.29 |
| Improvement: The Windows Node Agent application update to indicate the architecture version of the installed Node Agent. The 64-bit and 32-bit Windows Node Agent will be displayed as "Enterprise Recon 2 Agent (x64)" and "Enterprise Recon 2 Agent (x32)" respectively. | Windows | 2.0.29 |
