    HI,

    Clients and secondary servers do not receive updates after updating Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition parent server with Intelligent Updater

    I will suggest you can Upgrade SAV 10 to SEP 12.1

    Symantec recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection, which currently is version 12.1 RU1.

    There is no cost to upgrade for customers with a current maintenance contract. Read the System requirements document to determine whether Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 is supported on your hardware. For information on licensing Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, read the document Overview of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 licensing

    Be Aware: The Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.x and Symantec Client Security 3.x has reached End of Support life! - Comment:29 May 2012 : Link

    Definition updates usually cease on the End of Support Life date. In this case it is 7/4/12.

    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 Wandi,

    SAV version 10.1.0.394

    Even if definitions continued coming from Symantec indefinitely, it is doubtful if they will be applied reliably by these SAV clients.  This RTM release of SAV 10 dates from days when definitions were about 15 MB in size.  These clients were never designed to process the 170 MB files currently in use. DEFINITELY upgrade to SEP!

    Hope this helps,

    Mick

    Hi,

    You must consider to upgrade to the latest SEP version.

    You can directly upgrade to SEP 12.1 & It's supported at this point.

    For all existing license customer it's a free upgrade & you are missing benefits of it.
