Hi experts,

Is there any method to determine the license expiration date in Symantec NB 7.6.1 

I have installed 7.6.1  on windows 2k8 r2.

License was give by one of our collegue. he told me its a trial version and works for 30 days.

  • Licenses that you have purchased never expire.

    license type    = 1 Permanent

    Only maintenance expires and need to be renewed on an annual basis.

    Nothing in NBU will give you expiration date of maintenance.

    If you register your licenses on the Licensing Portal (via MySupport), you should be able to check maintenance expiration date online.
    Or else request your IBR (Install Base Report) via your reseller or Symantec Customer Care.
