Overview

When a user upgrades their installation manually (without using Softaculous), the version in Softaculous record still shows the old version. This CLI utility allows you to find the list of such installations and update the Softaculous records with the correct version of installation.

Note : This utility has been added in Softaculous 5.5.3
