I have had an email regarding CONNECT Advisor Security Update. I have downloaded and installed this as requested but why isn't this picked up the CONNECTION Client. Surely if it is that important to get the CA updated then it should be part of the CC applications to show as upgradeable.
if you are using the v8i version of CONNECT Advisor, then it is upgradeable via the CONNECTION Client
However for CONNECT Edition applications, it is delivered along with the product and hence will be upgrade when the product upgrades

As this didn't appear in CC I guess I don't have CA for v8i.

Fine, but the way the email read was that we should upgrade now and not wait for the next CE update. So why can't the CONNECT edition of CA be upgradeable via CC?
There seems to be a hole in what apps are upgradeable in CC. I have only found Microstation CE and ConceptStation do, despite heaps of other Bentley CE packages that need manual download and install. CC is really good for upgrading itself mainly.

I thought the point of CC is that it scans your pc for all Bentley products and then lets you know if there is an upgrade available. If it doesn't do this what is the point of CC? Note that I don't use CC for anything other than updates!
I mainly use it to enable Bing Maps in CE platform products.
Realistically seems to be a case of misaligned implementstion of different product teams. I have many Bentley products inc. LumenRT, AECOSim, OpenRoads/OpenRail, MS CE, Projectwise, Conceptstation and Navigator and only a couple of them ever show up in CC...such a waste right now.
It would make much more sense to just have CONNECT Advisor integrated or combined with CC in my opinion.
