Task
1 From the product's user interface, click Settings & Diagnostics | DAT Settings.
The DAT Settings page appears.
2 Use Maximum number of old DATs to specify the maximum number of DAT generations that shall be preserved in the system during regular updates. MSME retains the latest DATs with old DATs under <Install Folder>\bin\DATs directory. Whenever a new DAT update occurs, MSME verifies the number of available DATs. If the available DATs count exceeds the DAT retention value, the oldest DAT will be deleted. You can specify a value from 3 to 10, where the default value is 10.
3 Click Apply to save the settings.
