Hello Everyone,
I would like to share the upgrade process grahical overview from SBE 12.0 to SBE 12.1 RU3 version
From SEP 12.1 RU1 onwards Symantec is giving an options to download full product in two parts i.e par1 & part 2 or download individual files like SEPM setup, SEP 32 bit setup, SEP 64 bit setup, Tools as per requirement.
It gives more levarage to the Symantec customers to choose what he wants. In many cases it's seen that customer used to required only SEP setup and unnecssarily he had to download entire zip file which is around 1.5 GB in size. Here we can choose what we want !!!
SBE 12.0 login screen.
After login to the SPC can verify the version details. Here we can see it's 12.0.122.192
Legacy version details are available here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/what-are-symantec-endpoint-protection-sep-versions-released-officially.
Go to the services & Stop the Symantec Protection Centre service prior to an upgrade, I have highlighted in the screenshot.
Once the download finishes successfully, extract the contents of the compressed file to a location of your choice
Navigate to the extracted files, then enter the SEPM folder and double-click on setup.exe.
