Configuring the LiveUpdate for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

In Symantec Endpoint Protection version 12.1.5 and later, LiveUpdate content revisions are stored differently on the management server than in previous versions. Earlier releases stored full content for every revision. Now, the server stores only the most recent full content package, plus incremental deltas for as many revisions as you specify here. This approach reduces the disk space that is required to store multiple content revisions on the server.

To configure a site to download updates  follow steps below:

1.In the console, click Admin > Servers and click Local Site , Under Tasks, click Edit Site Properties:
