•   Two more sites hosted on Solaris 10 with CC version 7.0.1.8.   
•   Last site on Windows server 2003 SP2 with CC version 7.0.1.8

database schema version: 54
VOB family feature level: 5
License is Atria.

we are looking forward to upgrade to clearcase version 8.x due to end of support of 7.1.2 version.
