1
The Data Protection Self Service Portal (DPSSP) extension is included in the MNE package for convenience, but is developed as a separate component and so has its own version number.
2
When upgrading, you must remove the existing MNE 1.0 help extension before checking in the MNE 2.0 help extension. If you fail to do so, you incur the error described in KB82509.
3
The DEGO extension is included in the MNE package because the DEGO for Mac OS X client package requires it. But, it is developed and also distributed as part of the Drive Encryption product, as reflected in the version number.
4
MNE adopts a component-based development approach, where each major component has its own separate version number. As a result, components such as the Advanced Features extension introduced in MNE 4.0 has a version number that might differ from the main product version. The Advanced Features functionality was merged into the MNE Admin extension as of MNE 5.0.0.
