v6 file doesn't seem to work for me. The archive shows up as empty when trying to decrypt using 2020 as the password. v5 shows up fine.
I already have. Nothing shows up, I didn't have any issue with the download and AV logs are clear. Not really sure whats going on.
Is v6 Bitdefender safe? If not, what should I do to make sure it doesn't cause a service interruption to the patches?
Why not just unpack the ESU version you're using into a folder and have BitDefender scan that folder... that should tell you everything you need to know.
If it's because now browsers seem to block certain downloads, the source shouldn't matter when the settings aren't set to allow them, same happens to uup dump downloaded zips.
Yep, the ESU Lic. Prep. update is probably not offered on WU, and the links i published in my post can be used.
@Enthousiast , based on your above statement, if installing the ByPass for the 1st time now (today), we should be using the "new" ESU Lic. Prep. update rather than the old one, correct? (I currently keep the "old" one in my process stream).
If you want to be prepared for the May(hem) updates, yes I did the test with fresh jan. 2020 updated install, without the use of the old one, all worked.
OK, here's my next questions... What do I do since I already have the older licensing prep package installed? Will it create a problem if I download & install the newer one?
Not as far as i have tested, just install the new one, but make sure that the april ssu is already installed.
So i have v5 of the bypass installed and have everything right up to the April ssu kb4550738. What do i need to do for the May updates?
Well, I checked the list of installed updates, and yes, I do have the April SSU already installed. So I used the link for the x86 version that you posted, downloaded the program and manually installed it. Yep. the new prep package installed without any problems,
