Thanks Chetan!

It should be noted, more importantly than the Release Notes (which omit this), that this update also addresses multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the SEP Manager and Client:

Good Day Chetan,

 

Any idea when & where will the SEP 12.1 RU6 MP4 Client Patches be made available for download?

 

Thank you very much,

Roberta

There is no patch, but a full download. You can find it at FileConnect - use your serial number to access it.

Client patches are released a few weeks later.

[Chetan Savade]

Generally it takes 3-4 weeks to release client patches, i will let you know once received any update.

When you say client patches are not available does that mean that updating SEP to 12.1.6 MP4 will not have any upgrade for the client anti-virus software? So the clients will still be running the older version while the SEPM server can be updated?

[PraveenAyappan]

guys just a quick question, is it possible to upgrade 11.x version of SEP to 12.1.6 MP4 directly provided that we are running SEPM 12.1.6 MP4

[ℬrίαη]

Yes, 11.x to 12.1.6 MP4 is a supported upgrade path.

[TonyS]

The full SEPM package download will include the latest SEP clients.

[PraveenAyappan]

thank you brain, the offical document is somewhat misleading, as it mentions 11.x to 12.1.6 is possible.

Much obliged ! Thank you !

You're welcome.

We know 12.1.6 MP4 is 12.1.6860.6400.  BUT Client Patches made available are to 12.1.6867.6400.  WHY to 6867.6400?

They should be Patches to 6860.6400

What is going on?
