Feature Pack vs. Maintenance Pack
- Thread starter a96pirate
- Start date
Maintenance packs are released to address known issues, bugs etc. Feature packs contain program enhancements as well as everything included in the maintenance packs.
You cannot download feature packs as you need to have a maintenance agreement with Veritas in order to obtain them. Once on a feature pack upgrade path, DO NOT install maintenance packs as you will overwrite features added by the feature packs.
