    Hi

    I would like to be able to perform upgrades of the SEE Clients , is there a way of upgrading the clients without a full reinstall

    I noticed that the client needs to be decrypted prior to the upgrade of the clients and that you cant overwrite the existing clients

    Also where can I download and get information related to the latest version releases and upgrades

    if you have many clients and you don't wanna do it manually -- then create client packages and push them out via GPO ..... If you are using the same GPO then install the new packages as upgrade and check the option donot uninstall the previous package

    IS there a simpler way to update rather than upgrading packages as surely over time I am going to generate lots of GPO 's as upgrade after upgrade is applied

    Are there any plans to create the option like a standard Symantec Console that updates can be pushed to all clients from a single console  or is there integrated options for Endpoint Encryption within SEP ?

     James -- there seems to be some confusion -- why would you create many GPO's to push the new see clients to the client machines ??? You can create one GPO put the new packages there and apply this policy to all the OU's you want.

    As if now see does not provide any hotfixes that you can apply on the client machines -- either you push packages on the machines ........ OR ......... you push upgrade packages to the client to get them on a newer version ............ OR ........ you make changes to the package .....

    all these things I mentioned can be controlled by the see manager console -- hope this answers your question.
