EAP vs Traditional

1) Um, does EAP 22.8.512.29 already include updates & enhancements from Traditional 22.8.1.14

2) Will EAP remain as an active, concurrent, rolling channel along side Traditional.   Receiving updates & enhancements in-line with Traditional.

3) Will EAP focus be limited to cosmetic, marketing, promotional features e.g., "Search".

Re: EAP vs Traditional

Good Question, @bjm_,

Yes, All the regular virus definitions & updates will be the same for both EAP & the traditional product except for the EAP related product updates.

Example: When the next build of EAP releases, It'll only target the current EAP build.

Re: EAP vs Traditional

So, does EAP 22.8.512.29 already include Norton 22.8.1.14 Product Update

  • Introducing Norton Shopping Guarantee (NSG) - English Only
  • Fixed an issue where Identity Safe login loops and gets back to the 'Get Started' screen.
  • Fixed an issue where 'Your version of Norton Security is not compatible...' message appears in action center notification after upgrading to Windows 10.
  • Fixed an issue where product patches were failing to apply.
  • Removed Soft-block on Malwarebytes & Hitman Pro.
  • Fixed an issue where Norton conflicts with Windows Bitlocker and causes High CPU usage
  • Other bug fixes.

or, will EAP channel receive 22.8.1.14 product update in a phased manner same as Traditional channel. 

I mean when Traditional rolls-out an update.  Will EAP receive same update before, during or after Traditional roll-out. 

I mean > Customers will receive the NSG service with the latest Norton 22.8.1.14 product update.  Do I have latest Norton 22.8.1.14 product update.  I do not find NSG as yet. 

I mean > 22.8.1.14 update is available for the following Norton products with versions 22.8.0.50 and 22.7.1.32.   Does that include EAP 22.8.512.29.  How do EAP users know when they've received 22.8.1.14.

Yes.  It does except NSG but that too will be rolled out soon.

2) Will EAP remain as an active, concurrent, rolling channel along side Traditional.   Receiving updates & enhancements in-line with Traditional.

Yes. The EAP channel will receive updates in-line with the Traditional channel and some additional & advanced updates soon. 

3) Will EAP focus be limited to cosmetic, marketing, promotional features e.g., "Search".

It's just the beginning.

Mohan_G: It's just the beginning. 

Okay, EAP users (me) would like product update notices same as Traditional users.

How do EAP users know when they've received announced Traditional channel updates e.g., 22.8.1.14.

I mean when Traditional rolls-out a product update. 
1) Will EAP receive same update before, during Traditional roll-out.
2) Will EAP receive product update announcements akin to Traditional channel.

I hear ya'.  Thanks
