ESet client version Autoupdate

[polcalweng 0]

Hi,

We just finished deploying ESet agent on our units. I Just want to know where on the policy to configure ESet client version autoupdate feature for both OSX and Windows?

As of now you must run a software install task to upgrade the security product to the latest version and an ESMC component upgrade task to upgrade agent.

As of Endpoint v8 for Windows and ESET PROTECT, we have enabled so-call uPCU program upgrades, meaning that upgrades to v8+ will be automatic if an administrator configures the product so.

Hi Marcos,

I checked on policies, I saw an update module. Is this the policy for automatic update for client version?

Yes, you have set PCU to auto-update. That means for any future update (e.g. to Endpoint 8.1) you will just have to accept EULA in the ESET PROTECT console and Endpoint on all clients will update to the latest version automatically.

Okay got it. So just to be clear, v8.0 below must be done manually, right? And the future updates (e.g. 8.1 and above will be automatic with this setting)? For OSX, is this feature also available?

Correct. As for OSX, I can't tell for sure now but I assume that automatic program update will be possible as of v7 for MacOS.
