Symantec Web Security 5.0 for Microsoft ISA Server 2004 requires a license file to unlock the full functionality of the software.

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:
Perform the following procedure once for each ISA array. When one ISA server is licensed for Symantec Web Security, the rest of the servers in the array are also licensed.
  1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft ISA Server > ISA Server Management to open the ISA MMC.
  2. Open a server on which Symantec Web Security is installed.
  3. Expand Configuration.
  4. Click Add-ins.
  5. Select the Web Filters tab.
  6. Double-click Symantec Web Filter.
  7. Select the Licensing tab.
  8. Under License File, click Browse and navigate to the license file location.
  9. Click Register.
  10. Click OK.
  11. In the MMC, click Apply and then click OK in the Saving Configuration Changes window.
  12. To verify that the license has been applied, open the Symantec Web Filter Properties window again and click Refresh on the Licensing tab.

Warning: Do not delete the license file called swsmsisa-csapi.slf located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Licenses.
