SWI9X30C_02.24.05.06 Does Not Seem To Update EM7455

IoT Modules MC/EM Series
1

I have a client with 30 Lenovo Thinkpad X260s with EM7455s and after downloading SWI9X30C_02.24.05.06 from the Sierra Wireless website and opening the .exe file, it seems to work but after I check the firmware version it still shows the old version SWI9X30C_02.24.03.00.

Any ideas, are others seeing the same behavior or any idea how to fix the issue?

Thanks

Does that firmware flashing finished completely ?

I solved my own issue, it turns out that Skylight Connection manager was not allowing the flash to take because I had SkyLight Connection manager set to automatically flash firmware.
