We exchange data between two parts of our organization, one of which has Symantec Encryption RSE v. 8.2.0 and one of which has the older GuardianEdge RSE v. 3.5/   The issue is that files encrypted with SEE RSE v. 8.2 are not decrypted by GE RSE, though the reverse--from a GE RSE client's encryption to a SEE RSE client's decryption--is OK.   As you probably know, the access utility is not accessible when the system has either SEE or GE RSE installed.

Short of using some cludge of other workarounds, like an encrypted zip file approach, does anyone have a solution for downward compatability issues of this type or does Symantec expect all users of their products to have the same version?
