  • 1.  Symantec closes LSD?

    Posted May 18, 2007 08:08 AM
    I've heard from my supplier than Symantec have decided to shutdown all further development of LSD/SLD? Can anyone from Symantec either confirm or correct me?

    Hi Raymond,
     
    That is something I can not confirm nor correct. But after acquiring Altiris it was/is bound something will happen to Livestate. I do know there will be an official statement send to partners and customers. What and when, I do not know for sure.
    What you can do is let your supplier ask their Symantec contact person, or ask your own if you have one.
     
    Regards

    Hi Raymond,
     
    We have been told by our local Symantec office that Livestate is going end of life and are already negotiating terms to cross-grade to Altiris.

    Hi Raymond,
     
    Having just re-read your post I think I missed that you were asking about ongoing development, rather than it going end of life, which are not implicitly linked. I guess only Symantec can answer that.

    Hi Raymond you will find the official statement which is:

    "Recently, we announced that development efforts for the LiveState product family will be discontinued". (Greg Butterfield Symantec Vice President BU Altiris)
