I'm currently looking to find out how to transfer my Symantec endpoint protection (sep) to another computer with a different ip - here are my questions .
First off. The new computer I'll be transferring my sep into I'm not sure if it will have a different IP address, from googling around there are different methods if the new computer will have the same IP. my new computer will be on the same home network but I'm unsure if the IP will be the same so I'm assuming that it will be different.
So from googling around Iv found how to transfer my sep to my new computer this is what I'm planning to do -
Install sep on the new computer.
I copy my sylink.xml file from my old computer. Onto a USB and that's on standby for my new computer.
On my new computer I'll go to start > run > smc -stop > press ok
Copy the sylink.xml file into my sepm program files over righting any existing one.
Start > run > smc -start > press ok
That's what I'm planning to do. Since that's what I will transfer everything. As I was looking at my sep thou Iv noticed this
"The following Symantec. Protection technologies are installed on your computer:
Antivirius and antispyware protection
Proactive threat protection"
Since sep was already installed on my computer I'm not sure if these two technologies are installed with the program and doing my method will just transfer my liceness over, making everything ok.
Or will I have to doewnload these and install them, what will copying sylink.xml do in that case. I'm assuming copying it over will just validate my sepm ?
I'm running version : 11.0 4000.2295
