Update Statuses in the Software Version Report

In the Software Version Report, the definition of Good, Warning, and Critical status are different for each entity type.

The criteria for each status are based on the version number, the feature release number, and the maintenance release number that is installed on the entity. The status of the software version appears in the Status for the CommServe server or in the Update Status column for MediaAgents, laptop client computers, and servers. If the CommServe server is installed with a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, then the criteria are slightly different than CommServe servers that are not installed with an LTS release.
