* Installing ESMC components on a desktop OS might not be in alignment with Microsoft licensing policy. Check the Microsoft licensing policy or consult your software supplier for details. In SMB / small network environments, we encourage you to consider a Linux ESMC installation or virtual appliance where applicable.
Important •Older MS Windows systems: Always have the latest service pack installed, especially on older systems, such as Server 2003, 2008, Windows XP and Windows Vista. •We do not support illegal or pirated operating systems. •Beginning March 24, 2020, ESET will no longer officially support or provide technical support for ESET Security Management Center (Server and MDM) installed on the following Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 (all versions). |
Warning Starting January 2019, Oracle JAVA SE 8 public updates for business, commercial or production use require a commercial license. If you do not purchase a JAVA SE subscription, you can use this guide to transition to a no-cost alternative and install one of listed supported Java editions. |
Note It is possible to install VMware Player on a desktop Operating System and deploy the ESMC Virtual Appliance. This allows you to run ESET Security Management Center on a non-server OS without the need for ESXi. |
