    Hi.

    We are using Endpoint 11.0.7101.1056 and I have just upgraded some Windows clients to Windows 8.

    What is needed to get Endpoint working on Windows 8. I know I need Endpoint 12, but do I need to upgrade Endpoint server or just the clients?

    Yes you need to upgrade SEPM.

     

    SEP 12.1 2 are support windows 8.

    yes you need to upgrade SEPM, since SEPM 11 cannot manage SEP 11 clients. latest version of SEP 12.1 i.e RU2 supports windows 8.
