A new year. A new SEP v14 release! :D
Looks like Symantec has been busy with squashing the bugs from the first release of SEP v14 and the list of bugs resolved is impressive. (link below)
I often wait off with the 1st major release (only for testing) until the next minor release and this is now my opportunity to upgrade our production network with this release. Anyone with similar testing experience as mine?
Here are the documents for some light readings:

So where can you grab the latest version from? You can download it from the usual place which is https://symantec.flexnetoperations.com using your serial number (beginning with Mxxxxxxxx) - Please note: you cannot use your existing v12.1 serial number to access this. You will need to use a new serial which was sent out to all existing v12.1 users (Upgrade Notification e-mail) - if you have not received this e-mail, please contact Symantec Licensing Support to get the new serial number.
As mentioned earlier, I’m starting with the planning to migrate to this version very soon. What about you? Are you going to upgrade straightaway, or needs to plan first? Our setup have SVA and it’s now no longer supported, so something to be aware of.
Share your upgrade experience!
