This issue has been solved. See solution.

I installed SEP ru5 on a network that has no internet connectivity. I cannot connect that network to a machine that can talk to the internet. so i will need to manually load files to a disk and transfer it to that  network. i do have SEP installed on a network with internet. my problem is i have both 32bit and 64bit clients. when i go download the .jdb file and place it in the appropriate folder it only updates the 32 bit clients. how can i update the 64bit clients with no internet connectivity?

I just want to make sure that

I just want to make sure that you are downloading two .jdb files, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit right? I know this sounds like a stupid question but I had to ask...

Thanks,

I've never had to download

I've never had to download two .jdb files before.  I always downloaded the one and both 32bit and 64bit would be updated.

I noticed weeks ago (while my definitions were still updating) that the two jdb files listed were pointing to the same location. Only ever downloaded one file and it always updated both 32 bit and 64 bit definitions. I think the fact there is only one file is not the cause of the problem.

My last 64 bit definitions updated on 4th March with a file containing definitions of 3rd March. I update the server weekly with jdb file as there is no internet connection on any of the machines.

I've cleared out the definitions with the process above, repaired SEPM, upgraded to RU5 from 4r1, uninstalled and reinstalled the manager deleting the database and reconnected all clients, still I get no 64 bit definitions in the manager when loading a jdb file.
