URLs: adminstudio-for-symantec-standard, adminstudio for symantec standard, adminstudioforsymantecstandard, wise

AdminStudio for Symantec is a branded version of Flexera Software™ AdminStudio®, an industry-leading, best-of-breed software packaging product. Symantec will offer three editions of AdminStudio for Symantec: Enterprise, Professional, and Standard. In addition, Symantec will also offer the AdminStudio Virtualization Pack, an optional add-on pack that provides advanced packaging support for the application virtualization technologies from Microsoft (App-V), VMware (ThinApp) and Citrix (Xen App). The three editions of AdminStudio for Symantec will include all of the functionality found in the traditional AdminStudio product plus functionality specifically developed for users of Altiris management suites and existing Wise Package Studio users.

What are the benefits of migrating to AdminStudio for Symantec?

Customers that immediately migrate to AdminStudio for Symantec will have:

The ability to repackage 64-bit applications into the Windows Installer (.MSI) format, something which has become increasingly important as more and more organizations migrate to Windows 7 and are therefore standardizing on 64-bit Windows clients and using 64-bit applications.

The ability to repackage applications into the native package formats supported by leading application virtualization technologies, including Microsoft (App-V), VMware (ThinApp), and Citrix (XenApp), using the Application Virtualization Pack add-on to AdminStudio for Symantec.

Who can migrate?

Wise Package Studio licenses covered by current Essential Support or Basic Maintenance as of November 7, 2011, are eligible to migrate to AdminStudio for Symantec. The current Wise Package Studio shipping version is 8.0. To qualify for the migration offer customers must purchase one year of Silver Level support for AdminStudio for Symantec. The migration program will be offered until November 7, 2012.

If the maintenance and support contract on your Wise Package Studio licenses has expired you can still participate in the migration program. Customers with Wise Package Studio licenses covered by support and maintenance that expired on, or after, November 7, 2010, are eligible to participate in the offer. In order for such licenses to be eligible for the offer, customers must purchase retroactive support and maintenance on those licenses through the date on which they opt into the offer.

Will AdminStudio for Symantec provide the same level of integration with the Altiris products as Wise Package Studio?

Yes. The version of Flexera AdminStudio for Symantec available in November 2011 will include limited integration with Altiris, but not full integration with the Altiris software catalog and library. Flexera plans to enhance that integration by developing an Altiris Connector that will enable packages created in AdminStudio for Symantec Enterprise and Professional Editions to be added to the Altiris software catalog and library in much the same way that the Wise Connector that Symantec provides.

If I migrate to AdminStudio for Symantec, can I continue to use Wise Package Studio?

Yes. Migration to AdminStudio for Symantec does not affect your existing Wise Package Studio product license. If you are in the midst of a Windows 7 migration, you can continue to use Wise Package Studio to repackage applications.
