    Hi,

     

    Upgrade to BE 2010 R3 (or at least a version that supports either of those devices!) which most likely does support that device.

    If you buy the device and attempt to use it with BE 11d, you're unsupported if you try calling Symantec for help and they will tell you what I just told you.

    11d is really old now and BE 2010 R3 offers more support for newer software and hardware.

    in order to upgrade, you'll need new license keys...don't buy the device and try making it work with software that doesn't support it...you'll cause more grey hairs for yourself! smiley

     

    Thanks!

I'd suggest you upgrade. IF you get it to work and run into an issue, Symantec will check the device against the HCL and pick up it is not supported in that version.

It might also work a couple of times and then fail, leaving you having to explain to the boss why it no longer works. Take the step to upgrade as well...it's straight-forward and you can do a direct upgrade from 11d. That's another forum query if you do intend upgrading and don't know how too wink
