4.5 Installation and uninstallation on the network
To simplify installation of Avira AntiVir Professional on a network of multiple client
computers for the system administrator, Avira AntiVir Professional has a special
procedure for the initial installation and the modification installation.
For automatic installation of Avira AntiVir Professional, the setup program works with
the control file setup.inf. The setup program (presetup.exe) is contained in the Avira
AntiVir Professional installation package. Installation is started with a script or batch file
and all necessary information is obtained from the control file. The script commands
therefore replace the usual manual inputs during installation.
Note
Please note that a license file is obligatory for initial installation on the network.
Note
Please note that a Avira AntiVir Professional installation package is required for
installation via a network. An installation file for internet-based installation cannot be
used.
Avira AntiVir Professional can be easily shared on the network with a server login script
or via SMS.
For information on installation and uninstallation on the network:
