McAfee Encrypted USB Devices User Guide
To start Encrypted USB
From the notification area at the far right of the taskbar, click the McAfee icon, and
then click the appropriate option from the menu.
If you are using McAfee Standard Encrypted USB, from the Start menu, click All
Programs, McAfee, McAfee Encrypted USB, and then click the appropriate
option from the menu.
Installing McAfee Encrypted USB—Standalone
McAfee Standard Encrypted USB requires you to install Encrypted USB because it does
not have a read-only drive. All other devices have a pre-installed version of Encrypted
USB on the read-only partition of the device.
After you install Encrypted USB, you must personalize the device for use. For more
information, see “Personalizing a device” on page 6.
To install Encrypted USB
1 Put the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer.
2 If Autorun does not start the setup program, you can double-click the Setup.exe
file from the root directory.
3 Follow the instructions in the Install wizard.
Upgrading to McAfee Encrypted USB—Standalone 7.0
You can upgrade a device that uses a previous version of Encrypted USB software to
Encrypted USB 7.0. You must download and unzip the Encrypted USB upgrade package
to your computer before you can install it on the device.
Encrypted USB 7.0 allows only one Administrator account per device. If your device
currently has multiple users with administrative privileges, these accounts will be
maintained when you upgrade the device. However, if you remove an Administrator
account you cannot recreate it. For more information about Administrators, see
“Creating the Administrator account” on page 7.
To upgrade Encrypted USB
1 Double-click the SWUpdate.exe file from the temporary folder to which it was
downloaded and unzipped.
2 In the McAfee Configuration Manager window, type the Management code for
the device in the Management Code box.
3 Select the Manage Read-Only Partition check box.
4 In the Read Only Image box, type the path of the McAfee Encrypted USB—
Standalone_7_0 folder located in the temporary folder where the upgrade package
was downloaded.
You can also click the (...) button and browse to the folder.
5 Click Update.
Note: The upgrade process automatically resizes the read-only partition if it does not
have sufficient disk space for the Encrypted USB 7.0 image. You can override the resize
operation by selecting the Override automatic resize check box and typing the
maximum size for the read-only partition.
