7 Chapter Licensing This chapter includes the following topics: ■ About licensing ■ Installing licenses ■ Checking the license status ■ Adding to licenses ■ Calling for help 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.
