Migrate Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager from one server to another

Hi Experts, need to migrate Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.3001.165 from a 2003 server to a 2012 server. Does anyone have a process that has worked for them? Also how is the licensing transferred?

Check your licensing policy (Symantec Document they sent you). Your version is old. Current Version is 12.1.6a ("a" was issued for Windows 10 machines).

So check your settings in the old version.

Install the new version (download from Symantec fileconnect site) and install it on the new Server. Do not install the old version.

Get your licensing from the Support Document (PDF and possibly included ZIP file) and license the new install.

Thanks John. The upgrade won't work. Can I migrate to the same version?
You should download the newest file from Symantec Fileconnect. It is a full file, not an upgrade. Install that on the new server and then license according to your Symantec Document.

If you do not have current licensing (a) you may have an issue and (b) if it will work, get your current version and install it on the new server.

You will need your licensing for the new server as I do not think you can copy the licensing over.
Thanks. Is there a way to copy the DB and restore to the new server?
