Lacerte Update not installing all modules

I have been forced to manually install Lacerte updates.  I just verified the update for today was available.  As I scrolled thru the  contents (Release notes are not reliably offered) I noticed that there are a number of modules with updates that are older than the date of my last update.  I updated on Friday 3/13/20 which should have got me all the updates prior to the Thursday 3/12/20 update.

I now see the following updates on the list for tonight:

  • Individual Alabama          3/10/20
  • Individual Louisiana         3/10/19
  • Individual Maryland        3/10/19
  • Individual South Carolina              3/9/20
  • Corporate Mass                 3/9/20
  • Corporate South Carolina              3/9/2020
  • Corporate Vermont        3/11/20
  • S-Corporate Arkansas    3/10/20
  • Fiduciary Oklahoma        3/9/20
  • Gift Federal        3/10/20

Can any one else verify this content on their list?    If yes, please also let me know if you are on a Network (like us) or running Standalone.

I am now routinely updating with WebSetup /FORCE.

Thanks, I fully understand that all modules are not updated with each update. 

What I would really like to know is what shows as pending for install. 

Tools=>Lacerte Updates=>Version Info=>Status => What entries that have "Updates Available" that are 3/12/2020 or older.  IMHO, there should be none.  They all should have been installed during my last update.

I used force last week as I first noticed this issue then and wanted to make sure it was cleared.  I will try vanallia WebSetup (in about 30 minutes) and let you know.

FORCE is more for program issues, as it updates MOST of the little bits and pieces that sometimes get kerfuffled.

If I am understand that which I did not appear to understand a year ago, many updates are schedule for Thursday and will have that Thursday date, even if they are released on Wednesday. 

Don't sweat the small stuff. Updates happen on a schedule much like my daily bowel movements.
