    Hi,

    I already have Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise edition license; this means that I have Symantec Web Gateway license.

    When reading the Symantec Web Gateway 5.0 Getting Started Guide, it is mentioned "Symantec Web Gateway can block individual Web sites or categories of Web sites. To block Web sites by category, you must have the URL filtering license.

    Does the Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise edition license include license for URL filtering or I need buy another license?

    Thanks,

    Arvind

    Hi,

    The Protection Suite only includes the SWG license for Antivirus and AntiSpyware scanning.  The URL filtering option is a separate license, and must be purchased separately.

    See the "Add-On" section of the SWG product page: http://www.symantec.com/web-gateway/agents-options-add-ons
