You can use multiple deployment methods to install Trellix Agent 5.8.x on your endpoints.

Important

(For use with ePO - On-prem only): If you are using older versions of Trellix products on macOS, make sure to install or upgrade to the latest rebranded version for all the products to function normally. Upgrading any one of the products, except Trellix Agent and Trellix Policy Auditor, removes all other products that were previously installed. For more information about installing or upgrading Trellix products on macOS, see KB96485.

(For use with ePO - SaaS only): After upgrading macOS endpoints to the latest versions of Trellix products, Trellix recommends checking the installed product versions. If any products are missing or have not been upgraded to the latest version, it is necessary to manually upgrade them. For details, see KB96552.
