Endpoint Protection

Hi Sir/Maam,

May I ask you have some solutions for my concern.

(Like for example for this month I already installed symantec endpoint protection to one laptop then for the next month I need to reformat that laptop so I need to install again symantec endpoint protection then it will reduce again on my license? I though one license is good for one year?

It will not. Uninstalling/re-installing does not cause a hit against the license count.

How come?
For us it always hit against the license count when we formatted a computer.

When a PC is re-formatted, SEP is gone from it. It will be removed from SEPM which free's up the license.

Like for example for I have 25 license then I installed on one computer for this month so the license will reduce to one then on the next month I need to reformat that computer and I will need to install again the symantec so the license will reduce again.

I thought one license is equal to one year even I just reinstalled it on the same computer

Is ther a way to backup the symantec installed to that computer so that whe I reformat it i'll just used the backup

It's not tied to a specific machine ID so you can re-install as needed.

No. You typically just re-install the product, if/when needed.

Then it will reduce and reduce the license count?

After it's removed from SEPM, a license is freed up.
