When necessary, Websense, Inc. releases a targeted hotfix to address a specific issue in an appliance module. In most cases, you receive notification of hotfixes in a Websense Technical Alert email, or (in response to a specific problem that you have reported) a Technical Support Agent recommends a specific hotfix.

The V-Series console Hotfixes page is your facility for finding, installing, uninstalling, and maintaining a history of hotfix application.

Go to the Administration > Patches / Hotfixes > Hotfixes page to manage hotfixes.

Following is a summary. For complete details, see Hotfix installation.

If you have several appliances and do not want to download the hotfix from Websense.com multiple times, you can use the Save to network location link to copy the downloaded hotfix to a convenient location on your network, and then, on each appliance, use the Upload Hotfix Manually button to upload the file to the appliance.
