NAV CE 7.5 vs. NAV CE 7.6

[jrjuiliano]

Has anyone received Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition 7.6 yet for their networks? We're running 7.5 right now.

I'm wondering if there are any major differences in performance and administration.

We're almost due for a license renewal and would like to know more about this version other than the marketing handouts!

Thanks in advance. J.R. Juiliano

I'm using NAVCE 7.5 too, and have problems regarding conflicts between Terminal Server and AMS².
Symantec people told me that NAVCE 7.6 solves this problem.
Me too would like to hear opinions other then Symantec's.

The major reason for NAVCE 7.6 is compatibility with Windows XP, 7.5 is not compatible. But Symantec did also make some fixes. I have not received 7.6 yet but should be soon since XP is released this week.

Thanks for the insight. Hopefully I'll be getting a copy here in the next few weeks, and I'll just have to see what the fixes are. J.R. Juiliano

I'm using 7.5 also. I just received 7.6 but I haven't done anything with it yet. I may just use my new licenses for mor 7.5 installations. If you hear of any good reason to switch i'd be interested.

The only real compelling reason I have heard is Windows XP compatibility.
