Endpoint Protection

If the Protection Suite doesn't require a license file, then why does Symantec give you a .slf file for it?

If it does require a license file, then how on earth do get the thing applied?

Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise Edition 3.0

Hi,

Please note that Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise Edition is a bundle of products. Symantec Endpoint Protection product does not require a license key to activate the product. So, if you receive an slf file for SEP product, you can definitely store in your repository. The license for the products plays a crusial role in organizational and security audits.

SEP doesn't require it doesn't mean the other products bundled in this protection suite also doesn't require license.

To know the license is for what all products
Open the license in a notepad and you will find the product names for which the license is. 

But make sure that you make a copy of the license file and open the COPY instead of the original file.

You said "store in your repository"... is there a folder in Symantec where I should be storing these license files?

 Store in your repository--means store it with yourself for future use.
