- Removing old product versions from the Symantec Product Catalog
LiveUpdate Administrator now removes old, unsupported versions of products from the Symantec Product Catalog and the Distribution Centers. After Symantec no longer supports a specific version, LiveUpdate Administrator removes the older versions based on the purge schedule for updates. You can change the purge schedule on the Configure > Preferences tab.
The URLs within LiveUpdate Administrator now use the HTTPS protocol instead of the HTTP protocol. HTTPS is more secure than HTTP, which is subject to eavesdropping attacks and can let attackers gain access to website accounts and sensitive information.
To increase security, all administrator passwords to log on to LiveUpdate Administrator must be a minimum of 8 characters, be alphanumeric, and include one special character You can increase the minimum number of characters that are required on the Preferences page.
- Importing the configuration file
