Issue/Introduction

The Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client-only patches allow you to upgrade a client from older versions of SEP 14.x to the latest version of SEP.

Note:  SEP clients can easily be upgraded using one of the built-in upgrade methods in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM).  These client-only patches are provided as an alternative method to upgrade SEP clients when using a GPO or other third-party software distribution.
