About Legacy Software Delivery
Methods for delivering Altiris 6.x software packages (continued)
Table 10-1
Method
Software Virtualization task
Legacy Software Delivery policies deliver software packages with the same
configurations as the Software Delivery tasks that you migrated from Software
Delivery Solution 6.x.
For more information about the migration of software delivery data, see the
Software Management Solution Release Notes.
You can take the following actions on an existing Legacy Software Delivery policy:
Run the policy to deliver the software.
See
"Delivering software packages with the same configurations as 6.x Software
Delivery tasks"
on page 150.
Edit or clone an existing policy.
See
"Accessing a Legacy Software Delivery policy"
You cannot create new Legacy Software Delivery policies.
Use Legacy Software Delivery policies only for 6.x packages that you cannot deliver
with Quick Delivery or Managed Software Delivery. Otherwise, we recommend
that you use the latter delivery methods.
Because a Legacy Software Delivery policy uses some of the 7.0 functionality, it
is not the same as a 6.x software delivery task.
See
"How Legacy Software Delivery policies differ from 6.x Software Delivery
tasks"
on page 151.
Description
Software Virtualization tasks let you deliver virtual software
archive (VSA) files and import them into virtual software
layers on client computers. Use this method when you
migrate 6.x VSA packages.
You also can migrate 6.x SVS Task Server Plug-in tasks to
Software Virtualization tasks.

a Software Virtualization task"
