Abstract
A system and method for distributing software updates may receive one or more device states associated with the one or more devices at a service delivery platform separate from the one or more devices where each of the one or more device states includes version information. Store the one or more device states persistently. Receive a software update configuration at the service delivery platform. Receive one or more software update files at the service delivery platform associated with the software update configuration. Determine a candidate device list utilizing the software update configuration and the information contained in the one or more device states, the candidate device list containing references to one or more targeted devices, of the one or more devices, targeted to receive the software update. The software update manager may examine each of the relevant device states as specified in the software update configuration one by one.
