IMPORTANT: The instructions listed below are specific to an environment where multiple systems have the Evaluation version installed. If only one system has the Evaluation installed, McAfee recommends that you uninstall the evaluation version before you install a licensed version.
To upgrade the license, use MID to generate a new
VSECFG.CAB file, which includes the new license. Place the
.CAB file into the MID folder in the product installation directory on all systems that are running the Evaluation version. The default location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\MID.
To use MID to generate the
.CAB file, install the
licensed version of VSE and MID on one system. Then perform the following steps:
- Click Start, Programs, McAfee, Installation Designer.
- Select Modify an existing installation by generating a new settings file and click Next.
- Select one of the Source for Configuration options based on the environment and click Next.
- In the New Configuration folder field, type the location where you want the settings file to be stored and click Next.
- In the left pane, click the Upgrade License link then select Upgrade an evaluation version of VirusScan Enterprise to a registered version.
-
Click Finish and then Save.
- Click Exit.
- Copy the new VSECFG.CAB file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\MID folder on all systems that need to be upgraded to a licensed version of VirusScan Enterprise.
For more information about installing the licensed version of VSE and MID, see the
VSE Installation Guide and the
MID Product Guide for your version of the product.
