About multi-year licenses
When you purchase a multi-year license, you receive a set of license files equal
to the number of years your license is valid. For instance, a three-year license
consists of three separate license files. When you activate a multi-year license,
you import all of the license files during the same activation session. The Symantec
Endpoint Protection Manager merges the separate license files into a single
activated license that is valid for the purchased duration.
While not recommended, it is possible to activate fewer than the full complement
of license files. In this case, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager merges
the files and applies the duration of the license file that expires last. For instance,
a three-year license that is activated with only the first two files indicates a
duration of only two years. When the third file is activated at a later date, the full
duration of the license is reported accurately as three years. In all cases, the
number of seats remains consistent with the number of seats that you purchased.
When the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager merges files, the shortest
duration files are deleted and the longest duration file is kept for internal
license-keeping functions. If you think that a license was deleted inappropriately,
use the Recover Deleted License procedure to recover and reactivate the deleted
license.
See “Recovering a deleted license” on page 67.
You can see the license serial numbers of shorter duration that are associated
with the active license. On the Admin tab, click Licenses and then right-click the
activated license and select Details.
See “Licensing Symantec Endpoint Protection” on page 56.
