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 your license file:
The first time you access the Control Center, you will see the License Registration panel. To complete registration, you need one or more license files (.slf files) Each time you add a Scanner, you must confirm your license(s) or register again. However, you can use the same .slf file(s) for each Scanner.

How to access the Control Center

1. On the License Registration page, click Browse to find your .slf file.
2. Select your .slf file and click Open to return to the License Registration page.
3. If your installation will be using a proxy server for communications with Symantec, check the Use HTTP Proxy box and complete the proxy configuration fields.
4. Click Register.
   • If registration was successful, the License Registration page is redisplayed.
   • If there was an error, you will see error text at the top of the page.
   • Note: For registration and ongoing operations, Symantec Mail Security for SMTP communicates with Symantec Security Response over a secure connection. If registration has failed, ensure that your network is configured to permit outbound connections to Symantec on port 443.
5. If you have another .slf file for a different feature, repeat this procedure.
6. When all your .slf files are successfully registered, click Next.
