Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack upgrades
New versions of Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack are automatically installed over a
previous version. Any scheduled tasks, scan reports, and patch updates are retained. Vulnerability
and Patch Management Pack supports installation with an existing SQL Server database. However,
patch data from a previous database is not migrated. A full patch acquisition must be performed to
repopulate the patch repository.
For detailed information about a particular version, see the release notes.
For more information, critical updates, and the latest version of the software, click Download at

Vulnerability scan definitions are updated frequently as new information about security issues is made
available. Sign up for e-mail notifications of vulnerability definition updates or Vulnerability and Patch
Management Pack updates at http://www.hp.com/go/swupdate .
