How do I force a version update?

We recently updated our server from debian 8 to 9 (yes, sham eon us for taking so long, I know). Before doing the Debian update we updated direct admin, did a build all, and made everything as up to date on debian 8 as we could, then upgraded debian from 8 to 9, and then did a build all again. All is good. Mostly.

During the process we did set our license from debian 8 to debian 9 in the client login license part of the website, however DirectAdmin is still saying

Compiled on Debian 8.0 64-bit
Compile Date May 29 2019, 18:26:59
Server Version 1.57.1

As you can see, it's the latest version, but Debian 8, not 9. Does it matter? And if so, how to I force it to fetch a debian 9 version? Clicking the Update DirectAdmin link in our control panel doesn't seem to fetch a debian 9 version. It tells us that we have the most recent version and exits.

Thanks.

Ok, thank you. I wasn't sure if this would work because it thinks that it is on the most recent version. I'll give that a go and let you know.

Unfortunately the control panel reports that we are still running the debian 8 version.

Hello,

You might give os_override= a try.

- Ability to set DA binary OS in directadmin.conf


then re-download a new binary with a help of updateda.sh script from here https://github.com/poralix/directadmin-utils/tree/master/core

or adjust a download link from guide Martynas suggested with &os=Debian%209%2064
