slarkins 5 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Will Endpoint Antivirus install and work on a Windows XP computer..?? I still have a few that are used for specific applications in a manufacturing environment. If V7 wont install on Xp, what is the latest Endpoint AV that will work with both WIndows XP and also talk correctly with a V7 Security Management server?

ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted September 13, 2018 ESET Staff Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hello. ESET Endpoint Antivirus V7 is not supported officially on Windows XP. It will install and most probably work, however the latest officially supported version for Windows XP is Endpoint 6.5. Management agent V7, and Security Management Center are fully compatible with this older Endpoint version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted September 13, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'd also like to emphasize that installing the latest available version of a security product on an operating system not supported by its maker doesn't make up for missing security updates and patches. We strongly recommend to consider upgrading to a modern and more secure operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRiC 9 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Does the Endpoint license cover all versions? i.e. can I install 6.5 on XP and 7 on Win7/10? This said, I didn't realize that EES 7 isn't supported on XP and I have it installed on quite a few XP machines at work. These are really old computers that are used for a single task, they're over 10 years old and have 1 GB RAM and 80 GB hard drives. Not really worth the money to upgrade.

Hpoonis 7 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 " These are really old computers that are used for a single task, they're over 10 years old and have 1 GB RAM and 80 GB hard drives.

Logically, if you are using systems that perform a specific task and that task is a business-critical thing then the driving software should be updated. If it is not possible to do this then the policy that these systems operate from is outdated and needs correcting. To recap: either they are not worth updating in which case they are not worth keeping. Or, they are necessary systems and, therefore, the time and money required to update should be set to it.

Yes sure, this was never restricted, you may install any of the versions, but naturally we advise to use the latest supported. P.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I forgot to mention the single task for the XP computers is to virtualize Win 98. The business programs are running in Win 98 since they don't work correctly in XP. Of course, I can upgrade to newer computers with better OS, and then they'll still be used to run Windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
