Supported platforms for McAfee Agent 5.x

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 doesn’t include details related to future cloud environment releases.

The following information details the McAfee Enterprise 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’re released.
