ESET PROTECT Components Upgrade

The ESET PROTECT Components Upgrade task is used to upgrade ESET PROTECT components (ESET Management Agent, ESET PROTECT Server, Web Console, and MDM, but not Apache Tomcat and Apache HTTP Proxy). The upgrade task can be executed only on a machine with ESET Management Agent installed. The Agent is also required on an ESET PROTECT Server.

ESET PROTECT 9 automatically notifies you when a new version of the ESET PROTECT Server is available.

You can upgrade to ESET PROTECT 9.0 only from ESMC version 7.0 and later. See the Installation guide for detailed instructions.

See also other ways how to upgrade ESET PROTECT to the latest version.

To prevent installation failure, ESET PROTECT performs the following checks before installing or upgrading ESET products:

if the repository is accessible

if there is enough (1 GB) free space on the client machine (not available for Linux)

To create the task, click Tasks > New > add_new_defaultClient Task or click the desired client device in Computers and select New Task.

Basic

In the Basic section, enter basic information about the task, such as a Name and Description (optional). Click Select tags to assign tags.
In the Task drop-down menu, select the task type you want to create and configure. If you have selected a specific task type before creating a new task, Task is pre-selected based on your previous choice. Task (see the list of all Tasks) defines the settings and the behavior for the task.
