Is there a way to add the Early Access agent to Mac systems already running Big Sur for testing?

Jason Popp

I understand the need for Sophos to work out the issues with the new MacOS features/kernel etc. I am in the middle of a new Sophos rollout and have some users that have already upgraded to Big Sur. Is there a way for me to get them onto the EA agent? I am up against some compliance deadlines so looking to have coverage, plus I could use the expanded coverage from our users regarding testing the new release... That said, I can't find a way to get a standalone agent installer for EA that i can share with them. Thanks! -Jason

    As a note, the EAP is not meant for production units.

    There is no way to directly install an EAP variant of the endpoint. You would have to install the normal endpoint and then move the machine into the EAP - it will then update to the EAP software. Be aware, there will be no protection active on the machine until the EAP software is installed and all the permissions are set.
