You can use Installation Designer to migrate evaluation software license to a licensed copy.
To use Installation Designer when the evaluation period for a McAfee product has expired or is about to expire:
- Start McAfee Installation Designer.
- Select the Modify an existing installation by generating a new settings file option and click Next.
- Select None and click Next.
- Specify a destination folder, where the modification package is saved.
- Select whether the package is applicable to Workstations, Server, or both, then click Next.
- In the left panel, click Upgrade License and select all checkboxes that apply. Each checkbox represents a specific McAfee product that will be converted to a Licensed copy.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you select the option to upgrade the Storage license and any other products that you want to upgrade.
- Click Finish, then click Save.
The new settings files are stored in the destination folder specified above. These files can be added to a McAfee Autoupdate Architect repository, or you can copy the
.CAB file to manually update target systems. To change the license of target systems manually, you must copy the
.CAB file to the
MID subfolder under the VirusScan Enterprise installation folder.
