The appliance is upgraded as the Azure Migrate agents running on the appliance are updated. This happens automatically because auto-update is enabled on the appliance by default. You can change this default setting to update the agents manually.

- **Turn off auto-update**: You turn off auto-update in the registry by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AzureAppliance "AutoUpdate" key to 0 (DWORD). If you decide to use manual updates, it's important to update all agents on the appliance at the same time, using the **Update** button for each outdated agent on the appliance.

## Manually update an older version
342+
343+
If you are running an older version for any of the components, you must uninstall the service, and manually update to the latest version.
344+
345+
1. To check for the latest versions, [download](https://aka.ms/latestapplianceservices) the LatestComponents.json file.
346+
2. After downloading, open the LatestComponents.json file in Notepad.
347+
3. Find the latest version in the file, and use the download link to download the MSI. For example:
348+
349+
"Name": "ASRMigrationWebApp",
350+
"DownloadLink": "https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/3/4/f34b2eb9-cc8d-4978-9ffb-17321ad9b7ed/MicrosoftAzureApplianceConfigurationManager.msi",
351+
"Version": "6.0.211.2",
352+
"Md5Hash": "e00a742acc35e78a64a6a81e75469b84"
353+
354+
4. After downloading, in an administrator command window, run this command, to verify the integrity of the downloaded MSI.
355+
356+
``` C:\>Get-FileHash -Path <file_location> -Algorithm [Hashing Algorithm] ```
357+
For example:
358+
C:\>CertUtil -HashFile C:\Users\public\downloads\MicrosoftAzureApplianceConfigurationManager.MSI MD5
359+
360+
5. Check that the outcome of the command should matches with the entry (the MD5 hash value in our example) for the component in the json file.
361+
6. Now run the MSI to install the component. It's a silent install, and the installation window closes after it's done.
362+
7. After the installation is complete, check the version of the service in the **Control panel** > **Programs and Features**. The component version should be upgraded to the latest as shows in the json file. s
