Enterprise Vault 9 to 10 Upgrade and Test Environment/Lab Licences

[Elio_C]

Hi,

Just finalising plans to update from EV9 to EV10, is there anything I need to do regarding licencing? I have serial numbers (Mxxx...) for EV10 and 11 but unsure if my EV9 slf files from 2011 will allow me to upgrade?

Also I'm building up a new test environment/lab (so I don't have to ask questions like this) and again should I just use my enterprise slf files or request an evaluation licence?

Simple questions (hopefully), just don't want to impact any of my live environments.

Thanks,

Your old license will work just fine, at least temporarily until you resolve your licensing situation

Thanks JW3

So my existing SLF file will allow me to upgrade from 9 to 10?

What do you mean by until I resolve my licencing situation? I didn't realise I had a licencing situation. Do I need to get updated SLF files for EV10/11?

Also, any thoughts on my LAB environment? I assume I could use the licence file from my PROD environment, is there any way this could impact PROD?

Thanks

Yes, your existing license will work.  You can get a new license from the licensing portal if you need one for EV11.

As for the lab environment, i think thats a question you should ask symantec sales regarding compliance and licensing and such

symantec can issue temporary licenses for testing, POC, demos, etc. they're typically good for 45-60 days.

did you need anything else here?
