How to disable LiveUpdate with Symantec VIP Access Desktop for Windows

Products

• VIP Service

Issue/Introduction

Windows administrators may control whether or not VIP Access Desktop can automatically check for software updates periodically.

Resolution

To enable or disable LiveUpdate, there are two locations where the PolicyLiveUpdate registry key controlling this feature is stored.

32-bit: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\VIP Access Client]

64-bit:  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Symantec\VIP Access Client]

Modify the value to disable/enable LiveUpdate by changing it to "0" (disabled) or "1" (enabled).

Note: If the PolicyLiveUpdate key does not exist then LiveUpdate is enabled by default.
