Back up your license files
Depending upon the license vendor, you receive either a product license serial
number or a Symantec License file. License files are either sent to you in email or
downloaded from a secure Web site. The license file uses the file extension .SLF
(Symantec license file ). When the license file is sent by email, it is attached to the
email as a .ZIP file. You must extract the .SLF file from the .ZIP file.
Save the license file to a computer that can be accessed from the Symantec
Endpoint Protection Manager console. Many users save the license on the computer
that hosts the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and also save a copy of the
license to a different computer or removable storage media for safekeeping.
Warning: To prevent corruption of the license file, do not open or alter the file
contents in any way. You may however, copy and store the license as desired.
