• Update fails on client workstations connected to ESET Remote Administrator
• Apache HTTP Proxy is installed with ESET Remote Administrator
• A small network environment where a proxy for caching virus signature database updates downloaded from the internet is not required
• Receive an activation error, for example ECP.4098

Apache HTTP Proxy can be installed as part of the ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) Server installation process using the all-in-one installer. However, not all users should install Apache HTTP Proxy because doing so will create and apply several proxy-based policies for client computers and apply them automatically, which can affect your ability to download updates. We recommend that you deselect this component during installation if you are unsure whether it is needed on your network. You can install Apache HTTP Proxy later.

To allow updates, follow the instructions below to disable Apache HTTP Proxy: 

1. Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in. Open ERA Web Console.

2. Click Admin  → Policies, select the Agent policy being applied to your endpoint computers and then click Policies → Edit.
    
3. Expand Settings → Advanced Settings and click the slider bar next to Use proxy server.
    
4. Click the Force  icon. 
    
5. Click Finish.
