Minor Enhancement Updates (N7624B-Uxx)

The minor enhancement updates (MEU) option allows you to obtain the latest capabilities of the software. It is purchased as N7624B-MEU. However, each enhancement update is licensed as N7624B-Uxx, as shown in the image above. As more enhancements become available, the option suffix increments: U01, U02, U03 and so on. Purchasing MEU includes all the capabilities from previous MEU licenses. For example, purchasing the license for U03 includes everything that was in U01 and U02. If you had purchased an earlier MEU license, such as U01, and want the most recent MEU capabilities available in U03, purchasing another MEU license upgrades your software to the most current state.
