How to Install and Upgrade Symantec Endpoint Protection on a Mac

Installing the Symantec Endpoint Protection client for Mac covers both managed and unmanaged installations. If you're looking for best practices, please refer to Recommendations for installing Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh on Mac OS X Server. However, if you're planning to upgrade your operating system, it's recommended to uninstall and then reinstall the compatible version of Symantec Endpoint Protection to avoid potential corruption of logs and other components.

Although Symantec does not officially support Mac OS X Server, there are only minor differences between Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac will function and scan for threats as expected.

If you need to perform a major upgrade to the macOS operating system with SEP installed, follow these steps:

* For minor updates, such as 10.14.4 to 10.14.5, the Symantec Endpoint Protection client can remain in place.

* For a major update to Mac OS X on a client system (from OS X 10.13 to OS X 10.14, for example), upgrade the Symantec Endpoint Protection client to the version that is compatible with the newer operating system, and then upgrade the operating system.

For specific Symantec Endpoint Protection version requirements, please refer to Compatibility between Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac and versions of Mac OS X.

Remember to always follow best practices when installing and upgrading Symantec Endpoint Protection on your Mac to ensure a smooth and secure experience.
