Hi Bryan,
The last email I received from PGP (including in my spam filter) was on January 3rd. I have never received any other emails regarding the entitlement, nor on 10.1.1. I seem to get all the bad news (like symantec breaking the support contract), but none of the useful information (like 10.1.1 or the new download procedure). FWIW, I did not receive the Friday email either. I did know about 10.1.1 because of the posting in the old forum (thank you), and managed to get it before LEMS was shut down.
The last information posted to the forum was 'we're working on it, and in the meantime call support', so I (and I'm sure others) assumed that Symantec was going to correct the problem and enable downloads without customers having to take any action, so we've been waiting for that to happen. Thank you for making it clear that we have to do that, and that it's only a one-time thing.
And I should have been more clear - I was talking about the online download within the application itself - the 'check for updates' option that's been there for years. That's been disabled, and Symantec is either unwilling or unable to re-activate it. I understand from a forum post that it's due to export restriction concerns, but it's unclear if that's temporary or permanent (and I note that PGP solved that problem a long time ago).
To summarize what I understand about the situation:
1) We call support once, then we're able to download entitled software.
2) Email notifications continue to be (at best) unreliable, so we should continue to monitor the forum for version updates.
3) Check for updates is offline with no ETA as to when, or if, they will be re-enabled.
Anything I've missed?
