I need a solution
We currently have SEPM 12.1 installed on Server 2008R2 with about 12 clients (XP & Win7) connected. We now want to add about another 170 systems so I called Symantec licencing earlier. I gather that the Small Business Edition is considerably cheaper than the Enterprise and is suitable for organisations with under 249 endpoints so this is the best option for us.
The problem is that (although I can't see any indication anywhere in SEPM) apparently the existing licences we bought were Enterprise edition, and I've been told if I purcahse 170 SBE licences they won't work in my copy of SEPM 12.1
What I need to know is:
- Is there any difference in the Enterprise/SBE Endpoint Protection software?
- Is there any difference in the Enterprise/SBE EP Management software?
- Would I really need to run 2 separate versions of SEPM if I wanted to purchased SBE licences at this point, and is this actually possible to do concurrently on the same server?
Thanks
