Settings migration
Migration Process
From ESET Endpoint Antivirus version 7.2 and later, your settings from ESET Endpoint Antivirus version 6 are automatically migrated to the new version during the upgrade process.
After the migration process is finished, ESET Endpoint Security will display a notification on the home screen of successful settings migration: Your settings were transferred to the new version.
