Hello all ,  I want to know that once a client is purged for not connecting with the SEPM (default period being 60 days ) then once the client is purged based on this criteria for not connecting with SEPM . Then does the license seat that this agent is occupying gets vacant or not ?

I would appreciate if someone can tell me that whether it is true becuase the logic is

The license count is maintained and kept on SEPM console so if the client is not communicating with SEPM and if the treshold ( default 60 days ) is met then the client will be purged from SEPM console.

So once the client is purged from SEPM console based on this criteria then the lincese seat this agent is occupying then does this license seat gets vacant or not ? 

Then does the license seat that this agent is occupying gets vacant or not ?

Yes ,Once client are purged after 60 days client license will be increase.

James are you sure and certian about this . my logic says the same thing which you are telling me.

Could you please refer some article or documentation that says the same thing becuase I need to communicate this with my client . Regards

any 1 ?

See this

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager is showing over deployment of clients

Hello Outrageous,yes the license gets released once the count of machines are less.

You can use that license for other machines. 

when client offline, the entry is still in SEPM, the license is counted

when client is deleted from SEPM ( default 60 days ) license is released

Here is the symantec document

The following procedure will cause the SEPM to remove clients from its database that have not checked in within the past 24 hours, and thereby reclaim these license seats

So the James the licnese count will increase ( seats will vacant ) once the client is purged from SEPM console right ?> 

Yes

Outrageous,

The answer is Yes. Once the client is purged or manually deleted, the license is freed up.

"The following procedure will cause the SEPM to remove clients from its database that have not checked in within the past 24 hours, and thereby reclaim these license seats. If the number of installed clients is more than the license seat count then this will not resolve the issue. In that case more seats would need to be purchased."

When a client is purged, that licensed is free.
