To obtain a license file

Find the serial number that came in the box with your purchase. It will start with a letter and be followed by 10 numbers (For example: F1234567890.)
To ask for a permanent licence file, register your serial number online at the Symantec Licencing and Registration Web site.
Symantec will send a licence file to the email address that you gave when you registered.
Find the licence file in the email that you received.
Detach the licence file from the email onto your hard drive, and make note of its location.
Using a decompression tool, decompress the .zip attachment to produce the licence file ending in .slf.

Note:

Symantec's licensing tool compresses or "zips" licence 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 of whether you need zip utility software, visit the
