Symantec AntiVirus/ Filtering for Lotus Notes Domino 3.1 requires a license file (.slf) in order to be activated. Please see below for instructions on how to obtain and install a license file.
To license your product, you must first register with Symantec. After registering with Symantec, a license file will be emailed to you. License files are digitally signed, so any attempts to edit a license file will result in corruption of the file and render it invalid.
Obtaining a license file

You will need the following information for registration:
- Symantec Serial Number, which is printed on the Symantec Value License (Certificate).

2. REGISTER your Entitlement to get a License Key
3. RECEIVE your License Keys via email
For detailed steps of navigating through the Symantec License Portal, Please click "Help" located in the top right corner of the License Portal log-in screen.
Note: Symantec's licensing tool compresses or "zips" license files to make them smaller and quicker to download. These "zipped" files are not self-extracting, and require third-party software such as WinZip or PKZip to open. If you are unsure whether you need zip utility software, visit the WinZip or PKZip Web sites to download an evaluation copy. For instructions on how to download and unzip files, read the document How to zip and unzip files.
