Migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus 89 Existing LiveUpdate server migration In each case, automatic migration from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus occurs. Also, the clients inherit the policy that was set on the parent server immediately. During the migration of Windows 98/98 SE clients, the installation program requires the user to click OK when prompted to restart the computer. See "Client installation methods" on page 130. Note: If the Symantec AntiVirus user interface (Vpc32.exe) is open when you try to install Symantec AntiVirus, the migration and installation stop on the client. Other antivirus product client migrations Since the Symantec AntiVirus installation will not recognize the presence of other antivirus products, the products must be removed prior to the rollout. Symantec AntiVirus includes the Security Software Uninstaller that can detect and remove versions of antivirus software that are not included in the list of supported migration paths. For more information on using the Security Software Uninstaller, see the documentation provided for the tool in the \Tools\UNINSTLL directory on the Symantec AntiVirus CD. Existing LiveUpdate server migration If you have already set up LiveUpdate FTP servers or UNC paths, there is no need to modify them. They will continue to be used the same way with Symantec AntiVirus. When the Symantec System Center is installed, you have the option to install LiveUpdate Administrator as well. To continue to use an internal LiveUpdate server, install LiveUpdate Administrator to at least one of your supported Windows servers. This lets you schedule LiveUpdate Administration Utility retrieval of packages directly from the Symantec System Center.

Migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus
Existing LiveUpdate server migration
In each case, automatic migration from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus
occurs. Also, the clients inherit the policy that was set on the parent server
immediately.
During the migration of Windows 98/98 SE clients, the installation program
requires the user to click OK when prompted to restart the computer.
See
“Client installation methods”
on page 130.
Note:
If the Symantec AntiVirus user interface (Vpc32.exe) is open when you try
to install Symantec AntiVirus, the migration and installation stop on the client.
Other antivirus product client migrations
Since the Symantec AntiVirus installation will not recognize the presence of
other antivirus products, the products must be removed prior to the rollout.
Symantec AntiVirus includes the Security Software Uninstaller that can detect
and remove versions of antivirus software that are not included in the list of
supported migration paths. For more information on using the Security
Software Uninstaller, see the documentation provided for the tool in the
\Tools\UNINSTLL directory on the Symantec AntiVirus CD.
Existing LiveUpdate server migration
If you have already set up LiveUpdate FTP servers or UNC paths, there is no
need to modify them. They will continue to be used the same way with Symantec
AntiVirus.
When the Symantec System Center is installed, you have the option to install
LiveUpdate Administrator as well. To continue to use an internal LiveUpdate
server, install LiveUpdate Administrator to at least one of your supported
Windows servers. This lets you schedule LiveUpdate Administration Utility
retrieval of packages directly from the Symantec System Center.
