Need older version of NSS

I work from my home doing IT work.

 

I have a tool that I use with a secure SSL VPN site.  The site is not compatable with Norton 6.

 

I have recently had to reformat my computer and I need to download NSS 5.2.1.3

 

Is there anyway to get this older version of NSS from Comcast?

You may be able to download  NSS v 5 from here:

 

http://liveupdate.symantec.com/upgrade/Comcast/5.0/NSSD5Setup.exe

 

I do not know how old a version this might be (it appears to be 5.0) and as such, you will need to run liveupdate (rebooting when requesting) to get it current on 5.2.1.3.  The last time I did this prior to upgrading to version 6 I had to go thru something like 11 reboots.   You need to run liveupdate until it responds "no updates found" and then reboot one more time.

 

Also please bear in mind - if you use ID Safe you will not be able to Import a backup made in V 6 into V 5.  Version 5 backsup ID Safe Data as an  .npm file while Version 6 backs it up as a .dat file.  The .npm can be imported into V 6, but the backwards compatability (v6 .dat to v5 .npm) does not exsist. 

 

Please let us know how this works out as I have never had a request before to go backwards with NSS - I know it is possible to do with the commercial versions and I do believeit will work - as long as the link I provided is still active.  If you get it downloaded - I would suggest you save it on your system in case it disappears at a later date and you need it again.
