SEP 12 SBE: LiveUpdate vs. Protection Center updates

If I have some client systems running SEP 12, and they also have pcAnywhere 12.5 installed.  from what I understand, pcAnywhere uses LiveUpdate but you can only manually run this, it's not like with SEP where it updates automatically. 

so for my SEP 12 client base there is a LiveUpdate Policy that by default (out of the box), checks both the Symantec Liveupdate server as well as the local Protection Center for content updates.  I'm sure Protection Center doesn't store updates for anything but SEP 12, so would leaving the option enabled to also check the Symantec LU server result in the "full" LiveUpdate running and thus pcAnywhere gets updated too?

Hi, The Liveupdate options

Hi,

The Liveupdate options inside the SPC for SEP 12 console will active a script so that only SEP 12 product will be updated by liveupdate.

However if you run luall it will read the entire product inventory and download updates for  all the products.

Ok, LUALL.exe it is then. 

Ok, LUALL.exe it is then. 

Do I need to run it on the server and it updates all clients or is this something run on each client individually?

 if your Protection Center

 if your Protection Center runs liveupdate internall or externally it will update itself..once it updates itself it will distribute the definitions to all its client computers.
No need to manually run LUALL

Yes but that's if all I want

Yes but that's if all I want to update is SEP but in this case I'm looking to find a way to trigger updates for pcAnywhere as well. 

From what I can determine of this file, it looks like it makes sense that one has to run LUALL.exe on each PC since there's no management server for pcA and each client system is it's own seperate installation.
