Enable/Disable Software Update Type Downloads

The Enable/Disable Software Update Type Download frame
is used for enabling or disabling the download of Limited
Availability (LA) and Beta software updates.
By default, all active Web Filters will receive General Avail-
ability (GA) software downloads. Clicking the checkbox
preceding LA or Beta enables/disables the request to down-
load that software update type.
LA and Beta software updates offer a preview of software to
be released GA. LA software updates can be used in a
production environment, but Beta software updates should
not be used in a production environment.
To enable/disable LA or Beta software updates, after
checking/unchecking the corresponding checkbox, click
Apply. When available, the requested software update
type(s) display in the Available Software Updates frame.
NOTE: Selecting/de-selecting "LA" also selects/de-selects "Beta".
