If you have scheduled jobs, you're better off just upgrading right onto 11d unless you're willing to recreate all the jobs. The upgrade retains the scheduled jobs, libraries and what not..

Also, just to warn you, on 11D, when you edit a scheduled job and it warns it may impact the other scheduled jobs, it may DROP the job you're editing right out of the scheduled list and you'll have to recreate it again.

I read a user posting on the Symantec forum that Symantec acknowledges this "issue" and it appears that for now - they're doing diddly about it. Watch the jobs you edit.

Also, Remote Agents need a product key of their own so be sure you have the product key IN PLACE for Remote Agents or you will run into problems. Your remote agents have to be upgraded aswell.

This should be addressed in Hotfix 8 - due soon!

I am looking at upgrading from 9.1 to the latest version - this is due to recently puchasing a x64 storage server that the 9.1 remote agent does not support.

Is there an product upgrade available from 9.1 (including remote agents and exchange agent)or will i have to buy a new "full" version of each?

Also will i need a Remote agent for every server or does one cover them all?

Thanks

I don't believe there is an upgrade available.
You need a remote agent for each server.
