This issue has been solved. See solution.

As many of you know, windows 7 includes "XP Mode" for Enterprise and Professional versions.  If you aren't aware of the feature, it is pretty much a preconfigured Virtual PC image of Windows XP that is able to have programs called from the windows 7 start menu.

My question is about licensing of the SEP and SEP SBE.  Since the host is licensed can you install SEP on the VM have the without taking up a license?  Does it matter if it's managed or unmanaged?

Hi, It would matter if it is

Hi,

It would matter if it is a managed client. If that client on VM is contacting SPC or SEPM to get the virus definitions, then the license will be considered.

License

And as far as the unmanaged clients are concerned they do not require the license.
