Download, install and activate ESET Endpoint Security for macOS

ESET Endpoint Security for macOS requires user consent settings to function

These settings need to be manually applied after the installation. Your device must be enrolled in MDM to avoid adding user consent settings to each computer. MDM will then be used to distribute configuration profiles to target computers.

If you do not apply these settings before installation, users will receive multiple pop-up dialogues prompting them to apply user consent settings manually. We recommend distributing configuration profiles before the installation of ESET Endpoint Security for macOS.

  1. Download ESET Endpoint Security for macOS.

  2. The installation package will appear in your Downloads folder or the default folder set by your browser. Double-click the installer file to open it.

  3. Double-click Install ESET Endpoint Security. When prompted, click Continue to launch the Installation Wizard.
