Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection (12.1.6) (or other)

[Thomaz]

I am having problem installind Symantec Endpoint Protection (they gave me 12.1.6).

The Ubuntu version is 14.04 .
I don't want to downgrade if not necessary.
The installation script aborts based on java version, but I tried w/ 7 and now I have 8.
I found this
http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-install-symantec-endpoint-protection-1215-supported-linux-operating-systems
Someone tried ?
Thanks, best.

I download the package jce_policy-8.zip from Symantec in order to install the Endpoint Protection 12.1.6,
But unziping, they came w/ 2 .jar files, so I couldn't install the package needed because the install script only recognizes the java version using this patch.
Any ideas ?
I am using UBUNTU 14.04 and tried java 7, but now changed to Java 8.

Threads merged. Please do not start duplicate threads as it dilutes forum resources and is very confusing for you and all others.

I saw, but didn't want to erase 1 , because could erase both. And the messages are different, to avoid someone would suggest the second operation.

I put the 2 files came in .zip file in the place of the old ones (backing-up this old).
Tried ./install.sh -i , aborting w/ error:
Starting to install Symantec Endpoint Protection for Linux

Pre-check succeeded

And tried dpkg -i sep.deb (inside Repository directory), but aborted with this:

Pre-check succeeded

May the package is damaged ?
Thanks,

i did it, w/ other package.
The result was:
Pre-check is successful

And when try to install SEP, they hags with the same result.

What should I do now ?

The logs files are showing the same.
Is the installation successful ?
How can I test?

[Thomaz]

The Endpoint status is with

Policy Serial Number OK
What should I do ?

Someone answered this, but I couldnt finding it and I closed the tab :-(
Type the answer here, please.

I saw this solution to SEP 12.1.5 :
Re: Installing SEP 12.1.5 Ubuntu 14.10 x64

Check logs:

cat ~/sep-install.log
cat ~/sepf-install.log

Seems sep.deb(preinst script) uses empty $PWD

Fastest way - copy endpoint files to root directory(/, not /root) and execute install.sh from there.



Do I need to desinstall and try this ?
I don't think it will solve this problem. Probably will result the same error, because isn't an installation error, but a connection issue.
