Processing logic may obtain a version of software that is running on a client. Processing logic may obtain a second version of the software which is an update to the version of software that is running on the client. Processing logic may send the second version to the client with one or more conditions that are associated with the second version, for the client to determine whether or not to update to the second version.

Conditional update recommendations based on local system state

Processing logic may obtain health data from each of a plurality of clients. The health data includes attributes of a respective one of the plurality of clients, a health status of the respective one of the plurality of clients, and a software version of the respective one of the plurality of clients. Processing logic may determine a conditional risk that is associated with at least one of the attributes and the software version, in view of the health data, and store the conditional risk in memory. Processing logic can make the conditional risk, which includes the attributes and the software version, available to a client.
