When out a version 6.4.1266, call it 6.4, not 6.1sp7 !
I would like to better understand Symantec version naming conventions, and all Symantec products following the same one!
When told me a version 6.1 SP7, I do not naturally guess the 6.4.1266 was the same one...
All the same, I can understand not able to guess the 1266, I can tell you, I was expecting something like 6.1.4.1266 instead!
e.g.: Currently
- Symantec Workspace Streaming Agent (SWS) 6.1 SP7 is:
6.4.0.68 - Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent (SWV) 6.1 SP7 is:
6.4.1266
Notice both are in the same packaged product "Symantec Workspace Streaming", and in fact, in a single installation EXE package: SEVAgents_x64.exe, 6.4.0.68
Really Symantec, can’t you try to make it simple?
I would like: for 6.1 SP7, to see:
- SWS agent: 6.1.4.0068
- SWV agent: 6.1.4.1266
- SWx other: 6.1.3.1234
The Service Pack is a set of different releases, not necessary all same level, but when talk about a 6.1 version, with, or without any SP, we expect 6.1.x.y build numbers !!
Here some referencial about version, also from Symantec:
