Maximilian's picture

 Will this release be the answer to our prayers or just another disappointment? 

For my sake I would be just satisfied if most of the "bugs" were fixed so not to much expectiatons from my side

Info

Hi Maximilian,

I suppose it depends on what your prayers are, it will certainly be the best build to date. Something going wrong with the current versions in your environment? Maybe I could give some insight on whether theres a potential fix for it or not in the upcoming release.

The English RU5 build is currently slated for 9/21/09 though this date has changed a few times in the past so there's certainly room for it to change again.

Not on fileconnect yet

Any news off MR5 release? It was supposed to be launched today but only for premium customers perhaps?

I cannot find the file on fileconnect.symantec.com or ftp.symantec.com

Why 7pm?

I'm curious, what is the logic behind posting it at 7pm pdt?  That seems like an odd hour.

SEP 11.0.5 should be showing

SEP 11.0.5 should be showing in fileconnect as long as you use SEP serial number. Otherwise if you are using SMP 11.0.2 serial number, it wouldn't show yet. Again just as I posted, you would need to call customer care for a temporary serial number for download.

Thanks!

Guys,

If anyone is using a serial number for Multi-Tier to download SEP 11.0.5, I believe that it wouldn't appear yet in fileconnect.

Resolution: Call Customer Care and asked for a temporary serial number for download.
