Update Software

Software updates are periodically available from Locus Lock.

Use the workflow below that matches the software being updated:

  • Update PpRx from the GUI if the GUI is already installed and working.
  • Update PpRx from the CLI by rerunning the device installer on headless systems or when the GUI is unavailable.
  • Update the Locus Lock GUI by rerunning the GUI installer.

Update PpRx from the GUI​

PpRx software can be updated directly in the GUI:

  1. Select Help → Software Management → Update PpRx Software from the GUI menu bar.
  2. Enter the customer ID number.
  3. Press Check/Update.
  4. If updates are available, follow the prompts to install them.
  5. After the update completes, restart the Locus Lock GUI.

Update PpRx from the CLI​

Use the CLI workflow on headless systems or when the GUI is not available.

First, locate the current PpRx installation:

which pprx

Then download the latest device installer package and rerun installer.sh from that package, following the same process described in Software Installation. Reinstalling over the existing locus-lock directory is the preferred update path; deleting the installation first is not necessary.

Alternatively, run update_pprx from the license-management directory of the install to check for and install an update directly, without rerunning the full installer:

cd <locus-lock-directory>/src/license-management
./update_pprx

This checks the installed PpRx version against the latest available version and updates it if a newer version exists.

Update the Locus Lock GUI​

To update the GUI application, download the latest GUI installer package and rerun the installer, as outlined in Software Installation.
