Symantec Gateway Security 3.0 is shipped with a license that lets the software operate for 30 days. This license begins when you install the product. You must obtain a license file within this 30-day grace period to continue using the product.

Symantec Gateway Security requires one or more license files in order to be fully activated. You need to register your serial numbers to receive a license file.
Each serial number is unique and is usually tied to a specific feature (firewall, content filtering, IDS/IPS, antivirus, and so on) and “size” that applies to that feature.

License files are tied to a specific appliance; they cannot be used on any other appliance. Associate the appropriate serial numbers with the correct Symantec System ID for the intended appliance. For help with this please download the Symantec Gateway Security 5600 Series License Organizer.
