Hi there. Today we downloaded to two different types of servers the SEPM 12.1 system, installed, and updated with LiveUpdate, etc.
I understood the download was supposed to be a fully functional 30-day trial, so we could try it fully to see if it works.
Problem: the Install Packages button is missing . We have seen many documents which refer to the Install Packages (under the Admin choice) but they are missing on both of our SEPM servers.
On a working server with SEP11, we see Administrators, Domains, Servers, Install Packages
On these two trial-failed SEP12 servers, we only see Administrators, System, and Licenses. No Install Packages even though I have built three packages already.
I see someone else say "Delete the client with CleanWipe, and re-install it with a package where the option Remove all previous logs and policies, and reset the client-server communications settings is set (you can find it under Admin > Install Packages > Client Install Settings)."
I wish I could do that too but I don't have Admin > Install Packages . LOL
I have rebooted the servers already, no change.
Also , when I created a package , and deployed it to both an unmanaged client which had SEP11 previously, and a managed client which had SEP11, neither client appeared in the SEPM after the 12.1 was installed to the clients.
Are both of these installations broken? Or is this all by design, or do we have to pay for licenses before the trial will work? Or do I have to ask for a trial KEY that functions for 30 days?
Thank you for any help.
