  • 1.  End of SAV 10 Definitions

    I recognize that SAV 10 End of Life is 7/4/12. What is the last date that SAV 10 definitions will be available for download from Symantec (I assume that's a later date? Thank you!

    Hello,

    I believe so. Usually, it's the same date as EOSL..

    EOSL means that technical support will no longer be provided for SAV CE 10.x.  All support services, including without limitation, virus definition updates, bug fixes/patches and engineering modification, for SAV CE 10.x will end on the EOSL date.

    FURTHER SUPPORT OPTIONS

    For a fee, a Partial Support period and an extension of the virus definitions can be made available for up to 12 months past the EOSL date. For more information, read the document How to request a virus definition extension for Symantec AntiVirus 10.x Corporate Edition beyond its End-of-Support-Life date.

    Hi Birdman,

    There's no guarantee that SAV 10 definitions will be available on 5 July 2012.  Rather than subject your organization to the risk that protection may stop at any time, I recommend migrating to a product that can be relied upon to provide up-to-date protection for several years to come.

    Hope this helps!!
