McAfee Agent (MA) 5.6.x, 5.5.x, 5.0.x

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.

McAfee investigated this issue and a solution is currently available. This solution is currently not generally available, but is in Released to Support (RTS) status. To obtain the RTS build, log on to the ServicePortal and create a Service Request (https://support.mcafee.com/ServicePortal/faces/serviceRequests/createSR). Include this article number in the Problem Description field.

See KB51560 for detailed information on release cycles.


NOTE: Release notes for RTS versions are not posted externally. The release notes are only included in the package that Technical Support sends to the customer.
2 MA 5.5.2 is an extension only release that includes new functionality.
3  Extension is contained only in ePO 5.1.1.
4 Security hotfix for SB10100.
5 MA 5.0.0 extensions and clients have a minimum ePO version requirement of ePO 5.1.1. New features available in the extension do not work with MA client versions earlier than 5.0.x.
6 MA 5.5.3 is an extension only release and was released with Endpoint Security for Servers 5.2.0. It is mentioned in the ENS for Server 5.2.0 Installation Guide. For details, see PD28027.
7 MA 5.6.0 Hotfix 1264214 (GA) is no longer available because of an issue found post-release and documented in KB91418. This issue is resolved in MA 5.6.1.
8 MA 5.6.1 HF2 has been changed from General Availability (GA) to Released to Support (RTS) because of issues found post-release and documented in KB91655.
9 IMPORTANT: The DXL 5.0.0 client is now integrated with MA 5.6.0, and is no longer a standalone component deployed by DXL. McAfee Agent 5.6.0 bundles the McAfee Data Exchange Layer client as a component. The DXL client is now automatically installed on managed systems with McAfee Agent 5.6.0 and automatically connects to a DXL broker in your environment. To view the supported platforms, environments, and operating systems for Data Exchange Layer, see KB90421.

NOTE: For version information for McAfee Agent 5.0.x, see KB82105.
