Server OS is not supported

[REDACTED]

Hi,
I am trying to install my avast pro on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.

I see a popup: "The installation cannot continue" -> Server OS is not supported.


Why is that ?

[Eddy]

Because avast pro is not for a server OS.

For a server OS you will need avast endpoint protection or one of the specific server products.

I think its very rude. I dont want no server end point protection.

I am software engineer and i have Windows 7 development computer and Windows server development computer.

I am not running "servers" from my office, i just use the server operation system because i must make sure that the software i develop is compatible with Server OS .


What can i do ? I will not renew my licenses if this continue.

rude      
how is it rude to inform you that the OS you are trying to install it on is not supported?

Rude?
There is nothing rude about it.
If you are a software engineer, you should know that there is a difference between a server os and client os.
That means both will need their own kind of protection software.

If you don't want the SEP, you don't have to use/buy it, no-one is forcing you to do so.
