McAfee Management of Native Encryption (MNE) 4.x, 3.0.x
Summary
As Apple and Microsoft release new operating systems or service packs, the original McAfee product guides might not reflect the current support policy for those platforms. Most of the following information is available in the Product Guides and Release Notes. But, some of the information is available only in Product Management statements published in the Knowledge Base.

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.
