The trialware is expired with a replacement not scheduled for another week or so.  It was supposed to be removed, but I'm not sure where that is in the process...

This is in preparation of RU6 I think.

There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."

Hi again,

I think that product manager need to be fire-fighter for his/her fast response! ;)  Hey Symantec, we need trial for customers, if you need them....

The trialware date is the website is still not updated.
The webiste says:

Thank you for your interest in a trial version of the Symantec Endpoint Protection Client and Symantec Endpoint Protection Management Console. You are just a few clicks away from downloading this exciting new advance in security software. This limited Trial will be active until July 31, 2010, and will expire on that date.

I think Symantec will update this soon but not sure when.

Cheers!

I believe the website CMS should automatically recall the links which are expiring.

Still problems with client

Hi,

Now website says "This limited Trial will be active until November 31, 2010, and will expire on that date". Management tools seems to install and work ok but client not. If I try to deploy clients using Deployment wizard, it gives a warning "You are attempting to install a trialware that has already expired..." and aborts installation.
