You can directly upgrade to ESET PROTECT On-Prem 13.1 from ESET PROTECT On-Prem 11.1 and later.

A direct upgrade from the End of Life versions 7.2–11.0 has not been tested and is not supported.

Upgrade to ESET PROTECT On-Prem 13.1

ESET PROTECT On-Prem Mobile Device Management/Connector (MDM/MDC) component (on-premises only) reached End of Life in January 2024. ESET PROTECT On-Prem versions 11.1 and later do not support mobile device management. To manage mobile devices, migrate to cloud-based ESET PROTECT.

•If you installed ESET PROTECT On-Prem on a Windows device using the All-in-one installer, use the ESET PROTECT On-Prem 13.1 All-in-one installer to upgrade.

•For all other update scenario procedures, refer to the Upgrade, migration and reinstallation procedures section of the ESET PROTECT On-Prem Install Online Help guide.

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.

Upgrade ESET Management Agent on all managed computers to the latest version using the Components Upgrade Task in ESET PROTECT On-Prem

Follow the Knowledgebase article.

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.

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 applications in Limited Support, but some remote management limitations may occur. We do not guarantee the functionality of earlier ESET applications after they reach their End of Life.
