License and server migration

Hi Guys,    I have a SUN 6500 with Storage Foundation standar license, this server is going to be migrated to a M8000. Can I use the same license on SUN M8000 ? or I need to pay for an upgrade or...

    Storage Foundation is tiered. Version 5 installation will check for platform to determine tier and valididy of license key for the platform.

    Please speak to your Symantec Reseller - SF 6.0 has a new SPVU license utility. This way of licensing normally works out cheaper that 'Server Tier'.

    You can find it here: https://sort.symantec.com/spvu_calc 

    You will see that the 6500 is Tier H, M8000 QUAD CORE SPARC64 VII is Tier K.
