    Sir,

    If we have 10 Seats license for SEPM, is there any possiblity to add more than 10 clients to SEPM?

    Our Requirement is, We are going to update the Virus definition to clients from SEPM only.

    If possible please share the steps.

    Well with Enterprise version you can have as many as you want but if you go over the license count you will contantly be warned. Clients will still update though. SBE is a different story in that clients will not update if over the license count.

    Ideally, you want to purchase a license that covers all seats.

    Activating or importing your Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.x product license

    10 Client connected to SEPM.

    Only 10 SEP client if you will be add more client,Please see below impact.

    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.

    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

    • 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

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