When a LiveUpdate client is installed, the client is configured to use a Symantec LiveUpdate server. You must generate a new client settings host file to redirect LiveUpdate clients to retrieve updates from a Distribution server. The host file must then be distributed to each client computer on the network. When the client computer runs LiveUpdate, LiveUpdate connects to the server that you've designated in the host file and downloads the updates from that location.

In Control Compliance Suite (CCS), the LiveUpdate client is installed on the computer on which the Application Server and the Data Processing Service are installed.

You must copy the client settings host file to the LiveUpdate installation folder on the client computer. By default, LiveUpdate is installed to C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate.

For information on how to generate a host file, refer to Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator User's Guide.
