    If you are using SEP Small Business edition and go over the alloted license count than updates for clients will stop.

    If you are using SEP Enterprise and go over the alloted license count, clients will still continue to get updates.

    Hello,

    Incase if you are running the SEP 12.1 Enterprise Edition, then there would be no virus definitions update issues.

    For 12.1 Enterprise Edition, over deployed clients work normally. However you would keep receiving an alert notification for the same.

    For 12.1 SBE, over deployed clients cannot download definitions. Plus there is a Grace count.

    In both situations, the clients appear in the console. 

    Check this Article: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/sep-121-and-license-concept

    In SEP 12.1 there are two types of enforcement.

    Types of enforcement

    When the license goes out of compliance the Symantec Endpoint Protection product goes into enforcement mode. There are two types of enforcement

    1)  Hard Enforcement: SEP 12.1 Small Business Edition (SBE)

    • Content update downloads stop for both server and clients.In Small Business Edition it's 1:1 mapping with CAT server.
    • UI changes and log notifications are started.

    2)  Soft Enforcement: SEP 12.1 Enterprise Edition (EE)

    •  Content update downloads continue from all the sources.
    •  UI changes and log notifications are started.
