Define the path where the files should be saved.
Once you have the repository, you can deliver it to offline machines using two primary methods: Method A: Removable Media (USB/CD)
Set up a scheduled script on the mirror machine to run the Mirror Tool command weekly (e.g., via on Windows or a cron job on Linux). Optionally, add the --dryRun parameter to preview the update process and adjust filters as needed.
This primary method is recommended for most managed environments. eset offline update
Once the update files are transferred to the removable media, the physical media is moved to the isolated (target) computer. The administrator then configures the ESET endpoint on the target machine to look for updates from a "Local Directory" rather than the internet. By browsing to the folder on the USB drive where the update files are stored, the ESET software treats the USB drive as a makeshift server. It verifies the digital signatures of the files and applies the updates, bringing the virus database current. This method ensures that even without a direct pipeline to the vendor, the endpoint retains its defensive capabilities.
Temporary solutions during major network infrastructure failures.
This is the official method for servers and business environments. It requires you to run the on a connected machine. The tool downloads a complete copy of ESET’s update servers to a local folder (or network share). You then copy that folder to the offline machine. Define the path where the files should be saved
Extract the file to a permanent folder on the local storage (e.g., C:\ESET_Offline ).
: To enable these features, you typically need an offline license (.lf) file from the ESET Business Account

. This allows one machine with internet access to download the necessary modules and distribute them to others in a closed network. 1. Create a Local Update Mirror
Define the storage path and choose whether to distribute updates via an internal HTTP server (built into ESET) or a system folder share. Step 2: Deploy a Policy to Endpoints
An is a manual process of updating ESET security products—such as ESET Endpoint Security, ESET Server Security, or ESET NOD32 Antivirus—using a set of update files downloaded from a machine that does have internet access.
