Upgrading the product license

If you are installing the product for the first time, the product is licensed during the installation process. Skip this section and go to Installing VirusScan Enterprise on page 14.

If you are installing a licensed version over an evaluation version of VirusScan Enterprise, you must upgrade the license. The license does not automatically upgrade itself from an evaluation version.

Perform the license upgrade before the evaluation period expires. If you do not, the scanning and updating functions stop until you replace the evaluation version with a licensed version of the product.

Use one of these methods to upgrade an evaluation version of VirusScan Enterprise to a licensed version:

Use McAfee Installation Designer to upgrade the license. Refer to the McAfee Installation Designer Product Guide for specific details.

Remove the evaluation version of the product and install the licensed version.

Removing the evaluation version causes you to lose all of the configured settings from that installation. This method is only recommended if you cannot use McAfee Installation Designer to upgrade the license.
