Q: How often does Astra release UPDs? A: Security patches are released as needed (sometimes weekly). Feature updates typically arrive every 4–6 weeks.

Q: Can I roll back an Astra UPD? A: No, there is no official rollback. Your only recourse is restoring from a full server backup taken before the update. A failed update can lead to a corrupted panel

Q: Does Astra UPD affect my clients' websites? A: In most cases, no. The update process is designed to be non-disruptive, but heavy database updates may cause a 10–30 second service restart window. Run UPD during off-peak hours (e.g., 3 AM).

Q: What if my license expires? Can I still run UPD? A: No. An active Astra license is required to access the update repositories. Expired licenses freeze at the last available version. However, like any software, Astra evolves
