Products

• Endpoint Protection Mobile
• Endpoint Security
• Endpoint Security Complete

Issue/Introduction

Can SEP Mobile be installed a Windows Microsoft Surface X series device?

Cannot install SEP Mobile in ARM processor

Environment

Surface X series devices
Other ARM processor devices running Windows 10.

Cause

The traditional SEP/SES agent is not supported on ARM processors.
SEP Mobile is only supported on iOS and Android.

Resolution

SEP Mobile is not supported on Windows devices.
For ARM-based Windows 10 devices, such as the Surface X, the alternative is to use the Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. This requires a license for SES or SES Complete (SESC).

To install the UWP app on a device:

• Login to SES at securitycloud.symantec.com
• Navigate to Settings > Email Domain and add the email domain of the user(s) who need to install protection on the ARM device.
• Install SES through the Microsoft Store.

Or

• Login to SES at securitycloud.symantec.com
• Navigate to Settings > Installation Package and select Windows 10 (ARM, Snapdragon) from the Operating System dropdown

Additional Information

The UWP SES agent must be cloud managed. Either SES or a hybrid management is required.

There is no standalone or unmanaged UWP SES option.
