McAfee Agent 5.5 Availibilty

[kink80]

Thanks Again! So the plan would be to upgrade to Agent 4.8 P3 then upgrade VSE to 8.8 P10 then upgrade to Agent 5.5. I think The upgrade to VSE 8.8 Patch 10 wants a system restart. Do you think I could skip the restart after upgrading to VSE 8.8 P1 then upgrade the agent to 5.5 then restart? Or should I restart after the VSE patch 10 update then apply the 5.5 agent and restart again?

You can skip the restart and install the 5.5 agent.  In fact, you can install ma 4.8 p3, vse p10, ma 5.5 in that order, then reboot only once at end.  When the need for a reboot is critical is if there are different versions of syscore being installed.  In this case, only VSE is installing syscore.

Can we Upgrade the McAfee Agent version in clients from  5.0.6.220 to 5.5.0.447. Other Product ENS10.5.1 Hotfix2 is already installed in clients.

Please see KB90078 for compatible products.  10.5.1 is not listed there, so you would need to upgrade ens first.
