EPO 4.5 has been released

[twenden]

FYI,

I checked under our grant number and see that EPO 4.5 is now available for download.

The only thing that I don't see is the Agent 4.5.

Hi,
cant see with our Grant No.

Do you need an special agreement with Mcafee for 4.5 or must be an beta tester or something?

BTW: Its still listed under Beta Programs too.

[twenden]

No you do not need a special agreement. I would keep checking under your grant number during the day as sometimes it takes a few hours for it to show up. I would give McAfee a call if you don't see it by the end of today.

It appears that McAfee has added licensing to EPO 4.5. Their is a pdf called "FAQ for license management in ePO 4.5'. They talk about downloading a license key from the place you download the ePO 4.5. Has anyone seen this license key? Failure to use the license key will make your ePO server quit updating etc after 90 days.

Below is the first 3 sections in the pdf.

So we must perhaps expect that in the future VirusScan will also use license keys...?

You need to also download the help extensions for ePO 4.5. These only show up if you search the knowledgbase fro article number KB65478

FYI,

I finally found our license key. I initially didn't see it as it was up the very top of the first page after you log in with your grant number.
