To unlock the program functionality of your Symantec Mail Security 8200 Series appliance, you must 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:

• Symantec Serial Number, which is printed on the Symantec Value License (Certificate).
• Appliance Serial Number (ASN), which is a unique seven-digit alphanumeric (letters and numbers) code that is displayed on the bar-coded label
  attached to your Symantec appliance. One or more Appliance Serial Numbers are required.
• Contact details of your technical support contact (Network Administrator).
• Email address to receive the license file.

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 a license file:
1. Log on to the Symantec Mail Security Appliance Control Center. The first time you are logging on you will be automatically requested to register.
To access the licensing view later after the initial registration, select Administration > Licenses.

2. Under "Register a License", click Browse.
3. Locate the .slf (license) file that you want to install.
4. If necessary, specify the proxy settings.
5. Click Register.

During registration the status of each feature, for which licenses were purchased, will change to "Licensed".
The status of features for which no licenses were purchased will remain "Not Licensed".
After registration finishes, you will see a message at the top of the Console frame: "Registration Successful".

Please click this link, if you followed above descripiton but activation is not successful.
