Where do you got the information from, that Mailsecurity for SMTP is EOL?

The Information for 5.0.1 is as follows:

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/release_details.jsp?pid=51985

Brighmail Gateway is a completely different solution, I do not think that a simple migration is possible.
But of course, I could be wrong.

nevertheless, you posted this thread i the wrong section of the forum.
Admin should move it to brightmail forum.

Hmmm....EOL 2012...If we go with the Maya, everything will be EOL :D

just kidding...

So I cannot say if the migration is possible, but I do not believe it.
Also, I am not really into licensing, but I think in the multi-tier protection the license for SBG is included. This leads to the question if the appliance can be used for SBG.
The last thing I know is, that multi tier protection is no longer sold and the recommendation is to change to Protection Suite.

I know, this does not really help you...sorry

Thanks dude..

atleast I am having licence till 2012.. so I can survive with the same :D
as per the mail SBG is a component of multi-tier protection so licencing will not be an issue.. In the installation document almost every steps are same as SMS.. thats why I am confused.. I will update the version one by one.. let me see whether this will upgrade SMS to SBG..
