    OK BE 7.x had more than one public release as did some of the other versions so here is the list I have going back to 7.x

     

    7.0 = 7.0.727

    7.2 = 7.2.1616

    7.3 = 7.3.2575

    8.0 = 8.0.3316

    8.5 = 8.5.3571

    8.6 = 8.6.3878 (I think this was the NSE release that first implemented a CASO style concept)

    9.0 = 9.0.4454

    9.1 = 9.1.4691

    10.0 = 10.0.5484 - released 2005

    10.0 = 10.0.5520 - released 2005

    10D = 10.1.5629 - released 2005 (This introduced the now discontinued CPS replication technology. Also the first with Symantec 'yellow' branding instead of Veritas 'black and red')

    11.0 = 11.0.6235 - released 2006 (this release may also have been called 11D)

    11D = 11.0.7170

    12.0 = 12.0.1364 - released 2008

    12.5 = 12.5.2213 - released 2008

    2010 = 13.0.2896 - released 2010

    2010 R2 = 13.0.4164

    2010 R3 = 13.0.5204

    2012 = 14.0.1798 - released 2012

    2014 current beta = 14.1.1520 (of course the public release of this and possibly subsequent beta releases will have different build numbers)
