How do I update Symantec Client Security (SCS) to allow SYM06-010 patch installation?

To answer some common questions about possible migration
paths for SCS to 
allow patching, please see this Symantec KB article:

"Updating Symantec AntiVirus or Symantec Client
Security to allow SYM06-010 
patch installation"

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR
T/ent-security.nsf/pfdocs/2006052609181248

Although they mention the shortest method for patching in
most cases, going 
to the latest MRx/MPx version first (if you are not going
directly to 10.1 
MP1 first anyway) would also gain you the fixes in those
patches. For 
example, doing:

  3.1 ("394") --> MP1 ("400")
--> PP1 (using the "401" patch)

rather than

  3.1 ("394") --> PP1 (using the
"396" patch)

would allow the MP1 updates to be included in your clients.
Going from "396" 
to "400" will not work; you would have to
uninstall first.
