FYI...Two issues I know of with 7.4.3:
- 7.4.3's owner notification is broken, emc has a patch for it. 7.4.4
also fixes this.
- With 7.4.3 you won't be able to see any output in the monitoring tab
for ndmp jobs.  The fix is to go to 7.4.4.

There is effectively no activation. If the client is using a license  
now, it will continue to use a license after the upgrade.

All versions of NetWorker have bugs/known issues - same as for any  
software. What I was referring to was that each version of NetWorker  
gets updated release notes that include lists of "known issues"; what  
I was referring to was that unless you're planning to go to 7.4.3  
because of differences between the "known issues" in the 7.4.3 release  
notes and the 7.4.4 release notes, you should go to 7.4.4.

Cheers,

Preston.
