3. In the section for the applicable Software Blade, click Schedule Update.

   The Scheduled Update window opens.

4. Make sure Enable <feature> scheduled update is selected.
5. Click Configure.
6. In the window that opens, set the Update at time and the frequency:
   • Daily - Every day
   • Days in week - Select days of the week
   • Days in month - Select dates of the month
7. Click OK.
8. Click Close.
9. Install the policy for the applicable Software Blade:
   • IPS updates, install the Access Control policy (for Pre-R80 gateways)
   • Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, and Threat Emulation updates, and R80.x IPS gateways, install the Threat Prevention policy
