  • 1.  Expired license

    Hi,

    Our clients' Brightmail Gateway is about to expire and we're in the process of renewing the license for the product.
    We'll probably have between 1 to 2 months before the new license is acquired and uploaded.
    Will we still be protected during that time and what features will stop working?

    Thanks.

    As mentioned in this thread : https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/licenses-expired

    You can also get a temp license smiley

    There is a typically a 30-day grace period for virus detection and spam detection.

    Is it 30 or 60? :D
    I've checked and there are still filtering being done.

    For Symantec Brightmail Gateway, the grace period is 30 days.  The UI will provide warnings during this grace period, but will stop filtering email after the grace period has expired.

    When you say stop filtering, does it mean that every inbound email will go in?
    I was hoping for some of the custom policies, the one I've created, to remain active.

    Mail will flow, but AV/Spam filtering will stop.  Get a temp key.
