  2. To check for updates, in the right window pane click Check for Update .
    1. If the Database Status line displays the final status Up to Date , the Patch Knowledge Base already is up-to-date.
    2. If the Database Status line displays the status Out of Date , the Patch Knowledge Base must be updated. Continue with the next step.
  3. To update the Patch Knowledge Base , click Update .
  4. To update the Patch Knowledge Base even if the Database Status status Up to Date displays, click Force Update .
