Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.3 requires a license file 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

Follow the steps in this section to register with Symantec and download a license file.

You will need the following information for registration:


1. Navigate to the Licensing Portal at http://licensing.symantec.com.
2. Log on to the Licensing Portal.
3. Click License Management.

The License Management application offers a variety of functions that enable flexible management of Symantec Entitlements and related License Keys. This application is used primarily to obtain License Keys. There are three (3) steps to get a License Key:

1. ADD an Entitlement to your portal account
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.

To install the license file:
1. On the Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine administrative interface, in the left pane, click Licensing.
2. On the Install tab, click Browse to browse to the location of the license file.
The path to the file should appear in the box to the left of the Browse button.
3. Click Confirm Changes.
The software indicates whether the license was installed successfully.
4. Click Continue.
Please click this link, if you followed above descripiton but activation is not successful.
