Apply Subscription Updates to Agents and Connectors

Periodic updates, service packs, and point releases are all delivered by subscription. Often the modules to download include Agents and Integrations. When these modules are downloaded to a subscription client that manages agents, you must apply these updates to the agents after verifying that the subscription client that manages the agents has been successfully updated. Updates to agents must be applied before updates to connectors.
