11.x was just a paper license

With 12.1 you will get a license file which you need to input into the SEPM to keep track of licensing.

get the license ready for migration, even though there is some time allowed to run as trial after migration.

On 12.1 you get a 30 days trial for migration if I am not wrong, and after that you will need the serial number or the license file.

Hi,

SEP 11.x licensing is basically just a "paper" license product.  However, with SEP 12.1 the licensing is a "software" license product and uses a  license file.  It is important to become familiar with this license concept.

Depending upon the license vendor, you receive either a product license serial number or a Symantec License file. License files are either sent to you in email or downloaded from a secure Web site. The license file uses the file extension .SLF (Symantec license file ). When the license file is sent by email, it is attached to the email as a .ZIP file. You must extract the .SLF file from the .ZIP file.
