Migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus 87 Client migration To install a client upgrade from the CD 1 From the Symantec AntiVirus CD, run Setup.exe. 2 In the Symantec AntiVirus panel, click Install Symantec AntiVirus > Install AntiVirus Client. 3 Proceed with the upgrade process. 4 Restart the computer. Installing from the Symantec System Center To migrate from an earlier version of Symantec AntiVirus, you can deploy a client installation from the Symantec System Center. To install a client upgrade from the Symantec System Center 1 In the Symantec System Center, in the left pane, click System Hierarchy or any object under it. 2 On the Tools menu, click NT Client Install. NT Client Install is available only if the NT Client Install tool was selected when you installed the Symantec System Center. This component is selected for installation by default. 3 Continue the installation. See "Running the client setup program" on page 134. How to determine parent servers and policy When Symantec AntiVirus is installed to servers, each server receives a full set of installation files for all supported platforms in the folder Program Files\Sav\Clt-inst on a Windows NT-based server and SYS:SAV\clt-inst on a NetWare server. Note: If you have servers running Symantec AntiVirus that you know will never serve as parents, you can remove the \Clt-inst directory and its sub-directories to reclaim approximately 50 MB of hard disk space. When the antivirus policy is set on the server, the policy settings are saved in the Grc.dat file. This file exists in all of the installation sets and is updated any time that the policy is changed. When Symantec AntiVirus is then installed to clients from these installation sets, the policy is carried to the clients with this file, along with the identification of the parent server.

How to determine parent servers and policy
When Symantec AntiVirus is installed to servers, each server receives a full set
of installation files for all supported platforms in the folder Program
Files\Sav\Clt-inst on a Windows NT-based server and SYS:SAV\clt-inst on a
NetWare server.
Note:
If you have servers running Symantec AntiVirus that you know will never
serve as parents, you can remove the \Clt-inst directory and its sub-directories
to reclaim approximately 50 MB of hard disk space.
When the antivirus policy is set on the server, the policy settings are saved in
the Grc.dat file. This file exists in all of the installation sets and is updated any
time that the policy is changed. When Symantec AntiVirus is then installed to
clients from these installation sets, the policy is carried to the clients with this
file, along with the identification of the parent server.
