me myself and i 0 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi all, we are in the situation, that we actualy use Eset AV Version 8.x combined with management Agent Version 7.2 Now we want to upgrade to Eset Endpoint Security Version 8.x combined with management Agent Version 8.x (this is covered by our License) If i create a all-in-one Installer for that (including the Eset Endpoint Security Version 8.x ) and execute this on the client, only the Agent is updated. The Eset AV won't upgrade to Endpoint Security. In the Installer window (see below) it tells me, that Endpoint will be installed, but it just stops after the Agent upgrade. What am i missing?

Administrators Marcos 5,189 Posted January 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2021 Is there any reason why you are using an AiO installer? Agent should be upgraded by sending an ESET PROTECT components upgrade task to clients. Endpoint should be upgraded by sending a software install task and selecting EPv8 from the repository while creating the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me myself and i 0 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi Marcos, well... yes there is a reason. Is there a solution? I'm pretty sure that we have done that before and it worked that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted January 22, 2021 ESET Staff Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello, can you please share more details with regards to the reasoning of this approach? Also, is the currently installed version of the ESET Endpoint Antivirus, that you want to upgrade, on the same version as the Endpoint Security? (that might be the only reason I might see, that would possibly prevent it from updating, as it will check whether the installed version is not the same, and stop the install). Software install task as suggested my Marcos would do the trick. But we will have to investigate internally, if my assumption is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me myself and i 0 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 @MichalJ you were right. It is the same Version. If i pick a client with Agent Version 7.x and AV 7.x it works. So the install only checks for the version and not the product? Any chance to change that? or to force the install even if it is the same version number?

ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted January 22, 2021 ESET Staff Share Posted January 22, 2021 From my POW, that should work, so I will report is as a bug / improvement request, so even if the installed application is on the same version, but you are actually moving to a different tier product, it would proceed automatically.

me myself and i 0 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 So there is no "/force" parameter or anything like that which helps me in the current situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,189 Posted January 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2021 Currently the only options how to upgrade to a product of the same version are: 1, Sending a software install task from the ESET PROTECT console. 2, Uninstalling ESET, rebooting the machine and installing the new product.

me myself and i 0 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 As this is not an option for me, could you be so kind and give me a brief outlook when the next subversion of 8.x is planned? Or... How the version-check is working, may i'll find another solution for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is currently investigated and there seem to be a chance that problem will be resolved in component which does not require release of product itself, which would mean that fix can be delivered globally and much faster, but there is currently no confirmation.

Best I will have to double check, but issue should be resolved and installer should be rolled-out next week. Once done, all new installers should be working correctly in your scenario.

ESET Staff Solution MartinK 383 Posted March 2, 2021 ESET Staff Solution Share Posted March 2, 2021 Could you please check this issue was resolved? After re-download of installer, new version of installer should be used (it will show 4.0.14.0 in file details), which seems to be targeting also this problem.
