Installing a content license to an unmanaged client

Symantec clients can receive one content update without a content license. This
ensures that newly installed software can provide the most current protection
while giving you time to request a content license from Symantec for future
updates. Thereafter, computers without valid content licenses do not receive
content updates.
Content licenses are installed in the following ways:
For clients managed through Symantec System Center, a client receives its
■
license seat automatically when it checks in with its parent server. You do
not have to do anything to install a content license.
For clients managed with third-party distribution tools, your administrator
■
will ensure that your client receives a license automatically. You do not
have to do anything to install a content license.
For unmanaged clients, where Symantec System Center is not used, you
■
install the content license file. Your administrator will either provide a
content license file or notify you of the location of the content license file
for installation.
Your administrator will provide a content license file in one of the following
ways:
Send you the content license file by email.
■
Place the content license file on a network drive and notify you of the
■
location.
