Best way to Upgrade ePO 5.3.1 (build 188), McAfee Agent 4.8.0.1938 and VirusScan 8.8.0.1906

[User81359875]

Is there a best practice way to upgrade all the McAfee products? The best would be with a tutorial but it would also help to know how to update all the stuff. Especially in which order I should upgrade the products. We have these products in operation: - ePo 5.3.1 Build 188 - McAfee Agent 4.8.0.1938 - VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0.1906 Patch 10 - ScanEngine 6000.8403 - VirusScan Enterprise for Storage 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 I would appreciate I anyone could help me out. Thank you!

If you are planning on upgrading from VSE to ENS, the use of the EUA tool would be recommended: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB88141
This tool is however not useful for VSE-Storage. 

Which versions of which products are you looking to upgrade to?

@User81359875 You can also take a look at our various Reference Configuration outlines and determine which one matches your goal versions for a comprehensive upgrade order and instructions. 

Reference configurations are McAfee-recommended deployment scenarios that have undergone extensive testing to ensure proper sequencing and improve ease of execution. Each reference configuration document contains a product mix that has been validated to work together properly for a specific type of customer profile. If a specific product set is missing from this list, that does not mean there are compatibility issues--it just means that configuration has not yet been specifically tested.

KB88274 is an introduction to these documents, and this link will take you to an organized search of all available documents so you can search and find one to meet your needs.
