important

You can directly upgrade to ESET PROTECT On-Prem 11.1 from ESET PROTECT On-Prem 9.0 and later.

A direct upgrade from the End of Life versions 7.2–8.x is possible, but it has not been tested and is not officially supported.

step-1

Install a new MySQL database server

a)Install a supported MySQL database server.

b)Configure the new MySQL Server and ODBC connector.

c)Verify that the new database server is present in your network and ensure you can access it on your local/remote server.

step-3

Install ESET PROTECT Server 11.1 on Linux

a)Verify your system meets all ESET PROTECT Server installation prerequisites.

b)Download the ESET PROTECT Linux standalone components (Agent, Server, Web Console). The installation files are available on the ESET website, in the ESET PROTECT Standalone Installers section.

Apache HTTP Proxy users

ESET distributes ESET Bridge  as a Proxy component (replacing the Apache HTTP Proxy). Apache HTTP Proxy has reached Limited Support. If you use Apache HTTP Proxy, we recommend migrating to ESET Bridge.

step-5

Upgrade ESET Management Agents on all managed computers to the latest version

Follow the Upgrade to the latest ESET Management Agents using the Components Upgrade Task in ESET PROTECT Knowledgebase article.

step-6

Upgrade the ESET Endpoints to the latest version

Follow the instructions for your customers and/or endpoints; see Endpoints managed by ESET PROTECT On-Prem/ESMC/ERA.


important

We strongly recommend that you run the latest versions of supported operating systems on computers in your network.

You can use ESET PROTECT On-Prem to manage computers running unsupported Windows operating systems (for example, Windows Vista or Windows XP) with ESET products in Limited Support, but some remote management limitations may occur. We do not guarantee the functionality of earlier ESET products after they reach their End of Life.
