Symantec Security Licensing for Irish Education
SAMI supplies new Symantec security licensing and handles Symantec renewal enquiries for Irish schools, colleges and ETBs.
Existing customers may still use product names and licensing references from earlier Symantec deployments. SAMI will review the current product, device quantities and available subscription information before preparing a new order, expansion or renewal quotation.
For Irish primary and post-primary schools, colleges and Education and Training Boards.
Symantec Endpoint Protection or Symantec Endpoint Security?
| Product family | General licensing context |
|---|---|
| Symantec Endpoint Protection | Endpoint-security product commonly managed through Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. A valid paid licence is required for ongoing security content, product updates and support entitlement. |
| Symantec Endpoint Security | Subscription-based endpoint security administered under current Broadcom/Symantec subscription arrangements. Subscription capacity is based on the number of protected devices or seats. |
The correct product cannot be determined from the name alone. Existing deployments, current management platform, required features and renewal information should be reviewed before a quotation is prepared.
How is Symantec Endpoint Security licensing counted?
Broadcom's current Symantec Endpoint Security documentation describes subscriptions as containing a specified number of licences or seats, with one licence required for each protected device.
Other Symantec products or modules can follow different rules.
SAMI therefore confirms the selected product and measurement basis before issuing a quotation.
Renewing an existing Symantec subscription
For an existing subscription, provide where available:
- current Symantec product
- number of protected devices
- renewal or expiry date
- Broadcom Site ID
- account or subscription reference
- current partner/order information where available
Do not send licence keys, passwords or confidential activation credentials through the public website form.
If sensitive information is required later, SAMI will arrange an appropriate exchange method.
What SAMI needs for a new Symantec quote
- institution type
- Symantec product required, if known
- endpoint quantity
- desktop operating systems
- server requirement where applicable
- cloud or on-premises management preference
- any current Symantec deployment
- new purchase, expansion or renewal
- renewal date where applicable
If the institution only knows an older product name, provide that name rather than trying to select a current replacement yourself.
Symantec licensing questions
Can SAMI supply new Symantec security licences?
Yes. SAMI accepts new Symantec licensing enquiries from Irish schools, colleges and ETBs. Product availability and the correct current subscription are confirmed before quotation.
Can SAMI renew an existing Symantec subscription?
Yes. Provide the current product, device count, expiry date and account/Site ID information where available.
Is Symantec endpoint security licensed per device?
Current Broadcom documentation for Symantec Endpoint Security describes device-based subscription capacity, with one licence or seat for each protected device. Other products can differ, so the measurement basis is confirmed before quoting.
What if our institution uses an older Symantec product name?
Provide the current product name and version where known. SAMI can review whether it maps to a current Symantec offer before preparing a quotation.
Should we send our licence key through the quote form?
No. Do not submit licence keys or confidential activation information through the public form.
