This part makes no sense to me. I'm not saying you are wrong but is this "by design" because it sounds counter intuitive. " BUT only if CM12 deployed it and "knows" it is installed." Shouldn't that be evaluated at run time and not retrieved from some stored location? In other words if the product code is present on the machine at run time it would be removed.

Options: Supersede an application: This makes the older version no longer visible in the software center. UNLESS you click the check box to make both version visible This will make it to it removes the previous version before the new version When you do that without a deployment you have just removed the application from the software center, nothing else Then you do a deployment. You can either select to upgrade previous versions or not. If you select not to then when someone gets the app it will remove the previous version If you select to do it then you can set a deadline. With a deadline CM12 will actively upgrade previous versions, BUT only if CM12 deployed it and "knows" it is installed. If you want to make sure it "knows about" all installed previous version regardless of who or what installed it you need to do a simulated deployment if the SUPERCEDED application to all SYSTEMS (not users) If you do that make sure of the following: The superseded version cannot have any dependencies The deployed version cannot have and CHAINED dependencies. If either of the above 2 are true, it will force install on all systems regardless of whether the previous version is installed or not. A bit complicated, read it a few times before asking questions :-) The bugs are filed or being reproduced and filed today.
