NOTE: McAfee Agent 4.8 reaches End of Life (EOL) for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems on March 31, 2018. For details, see KB88098.
Summary
As Microsoft releases new operating systems or Service Packs, the original product guides might not reflect the current Technical Support policy for those platforms. Most of the following information is available in the product installation guides and Readme.txt files, but some of the information is available only in Product Management Statements published in the Knowledge Center.
NOTE: This information does not include details related to future cloud environment releases.
The following information details the McAfee products supported for use on workstation and server operating systems. Only current versions are included, because most customers upgrade to the latest Service Packs shortly after they are released.
