Hi,
Thank you for posting in Symantec community.
Q.If I were to purchase the necessary SBE licenses, uninstall the SEP Manager from the server, install SBE (either on the server or use the cloud), would it be able to push out and install the SBE client software without prior removal of the existing SEP client software?
--> SEP SBE offers a choice of locally-managed or cloud-managed deployments. Both wworks differently. If you planned to install on premises SBE client then need to uninstall Enterprise Client first.
If you planned to migrate EE to SBE.Cloud version then it would be possible to remove existing EE version.
Previously installed other endpoint protection products which can be automatically removed including the following:
- Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1
- Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 12.1
- Non-Symantec products
This article assumes that customers have already obtained a valid SEP SBE serial number.
As you mentioned "We are using the latest release of SEP but would like to move over to SBE because of the new management features", could you please specifiy about which features you are referring to.
Enterprise Edition contains all the features and functionality compare to SBE or SBE.cloud, I would not recommend to use SBE/SBE.cloud version unless it's a business requirement.
