/sigh

Back when I worked for an evil VAR (The company was evil, not all VARs
in general, although sometimes is seems like that!) it was the inside
sales rep's responsibility to get license keys.  That was part of the
"Value Add." (More bureaucracy!)  In the real world, you get emailed
license keys in .pdf or .txt form they come with an RTSM number.  You
can take that RTSM number and go to https://licensing.symantec.com/
where after you login you can register the RTSM and redeem them for
license keys.

Thanks Ed.

Indeed i'm not sure then if i am entitled to the latest release although
we have it installed on many other platforms. The issue i have is i
don't handle purchasing or quoting and am just an engineer who
designs,implements,supports stuff.

I'll feed  this back through the chain though and let someone above make
the decision.

Thanks for input
