Endpoint Protection

Hi,

   I am evaluating the symantec scanengine 5.2 (Trial version)  for our application. Its a web portal where users can upload the file.

I am successful setting and up and instantiating scan engine for virus scan. But it always returns the LICENSE_NA  filestatus and com.symantec.scanengine.api.ErrorCode.ERR_SUCCESSFUL_CONN for all the requests. I am using EICAR.com fake virus file for testing the scan engine mentioned by symantec http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-121611-3209-99.

But i copied the same file to my Endpoint protection enabled machine, it detects and quarantined  right away.

Is this due to the Trial version limitation of scan engine or am i missing something.??

Cheers

arethe services of scan engine running?

it's the feature of Auto Protect that detcts the threat.

 I dont think its active without license; please update the license

Yeah pete, its running. I was successful establishing connection and initiatinf scan.

i assume the trial should work with Eicar, let know if the URL is helpful
