• ESET Technical Support has advised you to enable pre-release updates to resolve an issue with your product
• Switch back to a regular update
• Enable pre-release update
• Enable Pre-release Updates on an Individual Client Workstation

Pre-release updates are updates that have been thoroughly tested and will be released soon. Enabling pre-release updates gives access to the most recent detection methods and fixes; however, pre-release updates might not be stable enough at all times, so you should always revert to using normal updates once an issue is resolved.

Enable pre-release update

1. Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in.
2. Click Admin → Policies.
3. Select the policy for clients you want to enable pre-release updates on, click the arrow next to Policies and select Edit.
