You have the option to install Symantec products using a keyless license. Installation using a keyless license does not eliminate the need to obtain a license. A software license is a legal instrument governing the usage or redistribution of copyright-protected software. The administrator and company representatives must ensure that a server or cluster is entitled to the license level for the products installed. Symantec reserves the right to ensure entitlement and compliance through auditing.
If you encounter problems while licensing this product, visit the Symantec Business Support website, and access the appropriate link.

You can also access the licensing portal, an online tool for product activation, registration of licenses, and maintenance or support at the following URL:
The Symantec product installer prompts you to select one of the following licensing methods:
Install a license key for the product and features that you want to install.
When you purchase a Symantec product, you receive a License Key certificate. The certificate specifies the product keys and the number of product licenses purchased.
Continue to install using a keyless license.
The installer prompts for the product modes and options that you want to install, and then sets the required product level.
Within 60 days of choosing this option, you must install a valid license key corresponding to the license level entitled, or continue with keyless licensing by managing the systems with a Veritas Operations Manager management server. If you do not comply with the terms, continuing to use the Symantec product is a violation of your End User License Agreement, and results in warning messages.
