SEPM Knowledgebase Documents
Check that the .SLF file is in either one of the following folders:
For the clients that run on a pre-Vista version of Windows: Drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\silo_identification\Data\Config
For the clients that run on Vista or a laster version of Windows:Drive:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\silo_identification\Data\Config
You can also include the .SLF file as part of a third-party deployment package.

Hi San1985,
Please mention SEPM and SEP client version details.
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.

Hi Chentan,
For SEP 12.X
Can anyone answer to my remaining 2 questions...?
Hello,
1.We need to find license infrom from SEP client console. How to check SEP client is licensed or not?
Check the SEP.slf under
For XP clients:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.1000.157.105\Data\Config
For Vista or a later version of Windows:
Drive:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\silo_identification\Data\Config
2.In Client activity log ,under Even type it is showing as invalid licenses. But we have extra licenses more tahn 1000+. why in client acitivty log it is showing as invalid.
Make sure the SEPM is able to connect to these websites:
3. In some systems in taskbar , got notification that Endpoint protection was turned off. Click the balloon to enable it and got this message: PFA screen shot.but when we open the client console,defs are upto date and no error motification in SEP console. why this type of notifications are diaplaying when client is installed properly.
Is there policy on the SEPM restricting the Users to Disable / Enable SEP?
To prevent user from disabling SEP features check following article
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-disable-sep-features-client-gui-sep-121
Public KB also available

If yes, you may face this issue.
Hope that helps!!

Yes, As per the abpve article already we have enable the disable the SEP settings from SEP console.
As we have mention earlier , why such type of nofications are displaying ?
Hi,
You should disable notifications alert through SEPM console.
Check the assigned policy settings.
