Check for product update

The Check for product update task enforces checking ESET security product upgrades (auto-updates) on managed computers:

•If a later version of the ESET security product is available, it is downloaded.

•ESET security product upgrade requires a computer restart, but not immediately (the restart is not enforced). ESET PROTECT On-Prem administrator can enforce computer upgrade and restart remotely from the Web Console using the Shutdown Computer Client Task with the selected Reboot computer(s) check box.

•The earlier ESET security product remains fully functional until the restart. The upgrade takes place after the next computer restart.

•Click Tasks > New > Client Task.

•Click Tasks > select the desired task type and click New > Client Task.

•Click the target device in Computers and select Tasks > New Task.
