Hello

Try to find out what version is what on Symantec Website:

We have the folowing client packages:

12.1.4013.4013 (old)

12.1.4100.4126

12.1.4112.4156

in "Get the latest Service pack and patches"

The latest client upgrade on support site is 12.1.4.1

What is that for a release above?

Then you use RU4 MP1 ...

please use one definition for one release, not 4 different ways with 4 different numbers to define one release

Also with the manager it is very hard to find out what release is installed, and what it references in website documentation

Such version chaos is not usable!

Please explain why?

I agree that having more than one naming convention is confusing, and finding out just how big a change (for example) 12.1 RU4 MP1b is isn't obvious.

To find which release in installed, in SEPM, Admin, Servers, select a server and you should be shown the version.

12.1 ru4 mp1a is applicable only SEPM and SEP client related latest product is SEP 12.1.4 MP1b.

SEP 12.1.4.1b. Client only.

Thanks all for the infos.

I will find now how to handle versions

But even there is a chaos about versions definition at endpointprotection

Regards Remo

Hi,

If Home page is showing the latest definitions without any warning message you will be in good shape.

When you go to the 'Admin tab' to see more detail info then it's somehow confusing. You can leave that part to Support for troubleshooting.

Here you will find info about definitions release: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions.jsp?pid=sep1213
