How do I know which version of MetaDefender Endpoint is installed on a device?
This article applies to all MetaDefender Endpoint releases deployed on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS or Android systems.
The version of MetaDefender Endpoint installed on a device can be confirmed either remotely via the My OPSWAT Console, or locally via the device OS.
MetaDefender IT-OT Access Console
- Log into the My OPSWAT Console and navigate to the Inventory>Devices tab.
- Enter the device ID, username, group name, IP address, or MAC address into the search field and run the Search.
- Once located, Client version details will be listed in the Agent Version column, as illustrated below.
- Client/Agent version and type is also shown in the System Information box when we view device details. In this view, users can also check which SDK version the client is running, as illustrated below.
Unless the automatic updates are disabled (via the My OPSWAT Console>Settings>Global Settings>Device Agents tab), the Persistent MetaDefender Endpoint will update automatically as new versions are released.
If the device is offline for an extended period, the version will update as soon as the device is back online.
The On-Demand MetaDefender Endpoint will not automatically update, regardless of whether the account is set to do so.
