Hi,

1. When did Symantec cease to sell VRTS STORAGE FOUNDATION OPTION MICROSOFT CLUSTER 5.1 WIN FOR OS TIER ENTERPRISE EDITION STD LIC as standalone option license and
2. When MSCS option was included in Standard version of VSFW?
3. and When MSCS option was moved tom Standard to Enterprise Edition of VSFW?

Any help with the above information with specfic dates will be greatly apprecaited.

Not sure about points 1 (but probably a while after 6 was released) or 2, for 3 here is some info

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sfw-version-6-licensing

"With the release of 6.0, the packaging of SFW is somewhat different:

We have deprecated DMP, FlashSnap and MSCS as separate options.  DMP is now part of the standard release of SFW while the FlashSnap and MSCS components are now simply bundled when you license SFW Enterprise. "

Riaan,

Thanks for the partial answer.

Do you have specific dates around these releases?

Regards,

Syed

You can find Release Details for each version over here:

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=releasedetails&key=15227 

Question 1:
Symantec ceased to sell SFW 5.1 when 6.0 was released.

About question 2:
Never as far I'm aware.
Up to SFW 5.1, this option was either a separate add-on with Standard or else included in Enterprise.
