    Does anyone know, or know where I can find more info regarding Symantec Antivirus Client licensing? I have a customer that is moving their physical servers to a virtual environment and we need to figure out how their Symantec Antirvirus licenses will be impacted or applied. Thanks!

    Good evening eternoamar,

     

    I work in the Enterprise Licensing team and this is a question I have not encountered before.

     

    When I return to the office on Monday, March 2nd, I will look into your question.

     

    I believe I know the answer, but in this case I want to get confirmation first.

     

    Can I please have you send me a PM with your contact information and I should be able to have an answer by Tuesday/Wednesday of next week.

    Symantec AntiVirus 10.2 is licensed per device, and this includes virtual machines. Thus, if you had a server that had Symantec AntiVirus installed on it and then you also had 10 virtual machines running, you would need a total of 11 licenses to cover that machine.
