I would like to better understand Symantec version naming conventions, and all Symantec products following the same one!

When told me a version 6.1 SP7, I do not naturally guess the 6.4.1266 was the same one...

All the same, I can understand not able to guess the 1266, I can tell you, I was expecting something like 6.1.4.1266 instead!

e.g.: Currently

• Symantec Workspace Streaming Agent (SWS) 6.1 SP7 is:
  6.4.0.68
• Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent (SWV) 6.1 SP7 is:
  6.4.1266

Notice both are in the same packaged product "Symantec Workspace Streaming", and in fact, in a single installation EXE package: SEVAgents_x64.exe, 6.4.0.68

Really Symantec, can’t you try to make it simple?

I would like: for 6.1 SP7, to see:

• SWS agent: 6.1.4.0068
• SWV agent: 6.1.4.1266
• SWx other: 6.1.3.1234

The Service Pack is a set of different releases, not necessary all same level, but when talk about a 6.1 version, with, or without any SP, we expect 6.1.x.y build numbers !!

Here some referencial about version, also from Symantec:
