Difference between NAV 7.6 and SAV 8.0?

[joepc]

Does anyone know the main difference between NAV 7.6 and SAV 8.0. I know it's the latest version and all but would there be any reason that I should go out and buy 8.0 when I already have 7.6?

I didn't notice any huge amounts of difference between the two versions. There were changes in the administration panel. I wouldn't rush out to purchase it but, if you have a maint. contract then it should be free. If you decide to take the jump, then you will want to do a manual uninstall of 7.6 before you load 8.0 on the server. I didn't and had major issues until I did a complete uninstall of the Server AV.

From a previous post - Check out this fact sheet:

It's not a lot, but at least covers the highpoints.
