Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE) cloud uses LiveUpdate to upgrade the cloud and the endpoint protection agents on workstations and servers. There also multiple methods for manually updating agents if required.
Workstation LiveUpdate
Workstation upgrades are independent of server upgrades and tend to happen more frequently.
Workstations get the latest antivirus, policy, and agent upgrades automatically. However, you can use LiveUpdate to force the workstations to update using the Check for Updates menu option in the notification area of the agent. This option is useful when an agent has been offline for a considerable period of time.
The upgrade does not require any user interaction, but it may prompt for a computer restart.
Manual upgrade
Use any of the manual methods available to upgrade if you don’t have the latest agent.
See Manually upgrading your agent.
Mac upgrade
Use any of the manual methods available to upgrade your unmanaged (but licensed) Mac computer to the latest macOS.
See Upgrading your Mac computer.
Are my agents upgraded?
You can check if an agent requires an update from the Computers page of the console.
How to check agent version?
You can check an agent’s version from the Computer Profile page of the console.
You can also view the version from Help->About on the agent’s user interface.
Unused agents
To ensure full protection across your entire organization, delete the agents that are no longer used and are offline.
