¹	The Data Protection Self Service Portal (DPSSP) extension is included in the MNE package for convenience. But, it is developed as a separate component, so it 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.
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 Feature functions merged into the MNE Admin extension, as of MNE 5.0.0.
