Hi,

If you go to the device page > licenses, you can click the download now button under your PAN-DB license to re-download the seed database.

hope this helps,

Ben

But doing that you redownload the seed, right?? not the DB or its the same??? any way to force jsut update the PanDB to last version?? in onder version it was more easy and intuitive 😞

Hi,

Yes you redownload the seed, but it also kicks off a refresh of the URL database to download the latest.

according to the system log, the URL filtering engine stops and then starts back up again. On my lab box this took a total of 1 second from stop to start.
