About licensing
Licenses are required for each 7100 Series node, but not for the console.
Symantec Network Security software functionality is activated by license. Only
the SuperUser has permission to update licenses.
You can use the Network Security console to install the license file on your 7100
Series node. The first time you use the console to connect to a master node after
initial configuration, a licensing window prompts you to supply the license file.
To license a slave node, you must connect to the master node and use the menu
to access licensing.
When a license expires, a new license must be installed to activate the node.
When no license is installed, only the licensing window is active.
Standard Symantec licenses are node locked to the Symantec System ID, and are
based on the monitored bandwidth. The license automatically includes
maintenance and support for the first year. This consists of technical support,
content updates via LiveUpdate, and software upgrades. You can contract for
maintenance and support separately from the license after the first year.
See the Symantec licensing Web site at
for more
information about obtaining a license.
