Oh, I see, he was able to get a support License for the OEM Symantec
software branded as Imail AV from some one else. (But gee, then that would
mean his Imail AV did not expire.)

Having a current license with Symantec for another product does not entitle
the holder of the license to updates to all Symantec products that holder
has or may have had.

Example: (A true life one.) A client (not mine, one in Australia) who has 50
workstations and purchased Symantec Corp 7.6 for those 50 workstations. When
the one year was up, they only purchased renewal for 35 workstations saying
the other 15 really did not do anything and did not need it. However, they
continued to update all the workstations through configurations in the admin
console. They got hit with a virus outbreak (some one had disabled RTFP as
it was slowing the computers down) they enlisted Symantec support to help
get them started on cleanup. Some how Symantec during the configuration
review found that they were updating 50 workstations but were only licensed
for 35. That client ended up paying a big fine.
