    for these products (and many others) symantec goes off the honor system. it's up to you, the customer, to maintain your compliance with your symantec contract by informing them of changes to your usage or consumption of their products. there's no builtin mechanism in EV to enforce or measure the active user count for your company.

Hi GertjanA,

thanks for the information. You mean I should ask HR for the FTE count and this should nearly fit to the needed licences.

We host a shared service center for huge bunch of company branches. We are migrating with QMM, at the moment it looks like, that QMM is an all-the-time-solution for our crossforest environment.

So, for sure I can filter all active and switched mailboxes.

But what I ask myself, is that in the sense of Symantec?
