  • 1.  Installing LiveUpdate with an installation package using SEPM 12.1

    Posted Aug 23, 2012 05:25 PM

    I am in the process of attempting to update multiple different versions of Symantec clients from SAV 7 up to SEP 11 to the current release of SEP 12.1.1.  One thing that I have noticed is that the installation packages that are built-in to SEPM do not include LiveUpdate as part of the installation.  I thought maybe I could download the full client install from symantec and then create a custom package that would include LiveUpdate as well, but I get a message that the package version is already available in SEPM.  I am guessing due to it being the same version of the client install that is already built-in.  What is the best approach to manage a client install from SEPM and deliver LiveUpdate as well?

    Thanks,

    Roy

    SEP 12.1 has a different LiveUpdate: LiveUpdate Engine (LUE). There is no separate installation for the SEP client--to greatly simplify the situation, it's bundled into SEP. The traditional Windows LiveUpdate works only for the SEPM, as far as SEP goes.
