Installing the product using a clone image Instructions for installing F-Secure Elements EPP for Computers using a clone image.
Note: The F-Secure Elements EPP for Computers versions lower than 18.14 do not support the clone image installation. For those versions, we recommend either scheduling a task to install the product at the first start or using another deployment method. This way you can silently have a fresh new installation of the product without any need to preinstall it.
To install F-Secure Elements EPP for Computers versions 18.14 and higher:
- Before installing the product, you need to turn on the OEM mode as follows:
- In a text editor, create a
enableOEMMode.cmd
file with the following content: REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\CCF\DLLHoster\100 /v ExitOnStart \ /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /reg:32 /f || goto error REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\CCF\DLLHoster\100 /v ExitOnStart \ /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /reg:64 /f || goto error @echo Success exit /b 0 :error @echo Failed to enable OEM mode exit /b 1
- Run
enableOEMMode.cmd
with the administrator rights and check that it does not return any errors.
Note: No messages are shown on the main user interface. The operation was successful if the installer did not fail.

- Install F-Secure Elements Agent for Computers with the embedded keycode.
Note: The keycode can be embedded in the filename, passed into the installer with a --voucher command line, or embedded in the offline MSI. Without an embedded keycode, the product cannot register to PSB.
- Before creating the image, you need to turn off the OEM mode as follows:
- In a text editor, create a
disableOEMMode.cmd
file with the following content: REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\CCF\DLLHoster\100 \ /v ExitOnStart /reg:32 /f || goto error rem 64 bit registry may not exist so it should not cause failure REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\CCF\DLLHoster\100 \ /v ExitOnStart /reg:64 /f @echo Success exit /b 0 :error @echo Failed to disable OEM mode exit /b 1
- Run
disableOEMMode.cmd
and check that it does not return any errors.
Note: You can also download the disableOEMMode.cmd
file here: https://download.sp.f-secure.com/PSB/latest/disableOEMMode.cmd.
When you restart the computer next time, the product launches, registers to F-Secure Elements Endpoint Protection and downloads the updates.
