  • 1.  Unmanaged SEP Clent upgrade through LiveUpdate

    Posted Aug 06, 2014 03:19 PM

    We're not really using XP, but the POSReady 2009.

     

    My question is, is this thread still accurate?

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/unmanaged-client-upgrade-liveupdate

    the solution above says:

    The checkbox currently does nothing. While the functionality is there we have not yet implemented it on our side..

    and

    As of now Liveupdate provides definitions/signatures and engine updates only. No product updates.

     

    Is that still the case?

    Should still be correct

    Thanks Brian,

    Is there any plan in the future to allow unmanaged clients to get product updates from LU?  The impact of having to manually upgrade clients is huge.

    I've not heard of any but Symantec will need to confirm

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    I would be glad to answer your query.

    Unfortunately it's not possible to receive product updates via liveupdate for both managed and unmanaged clients.

    My guess is being an enterprise product to stay on safer side always suggested to test the version prior to roll out on large scale. Every customer will have his own set of configuration so it's always suggested to test it prior to upgrade.
