Prerequisites
Complete the following tasks before beginning this procedure:
■
“Preparing to obtain license files” on page 90
■
“Completing the license registration process” on page 93
To prepare to install license files
1 On the desktop, create a separate folder for each security gateway, in an accessible location on your
network, with the folder name based on the Symantec System ID of the security gateway.
2 When you receive the email that contains the security gateway’s license files, open the attached file
using a decompression utility, such as WinZip or WinRAR.
The .slf file contained within the .zip file is the actual license file that you must install on your
security gateway to enable the features.
Caution: Do not attempt to edit the .slf file; this corrupts the license file and prevents your product
from working properly.
3 Save the license files to the appropriate folders.
4 Create a backup copy of your license files in a secure location.

Installing licenses
After you obtain your security gateway license files, you install them by running the License
Installation Wizard.

The License Installation Wizard link in the Quick Status section of the home page.
This link is only available when you have read access to the SGMI and a license is nearing
expiration.

install a single license file or upload and install multiple files.
