In an effort to optimize our small business portfolio, Symantec has End of Life’d (EOL) Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 12.1 as of May 4, 2015. We have automatically transitioned customers’ licenses to Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition on a 1:1 ratio.
With Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition, customers will have the option to continue managing their endpoints on-premise or migrate to the cloud. By moving to the cloud, customers can take advantage of faster updates, fewer IT resources (no on-premise server needed) and availability anywhere (no need to be on site to check status or pull reports). Migrating SEP SBE to the cloud is easy, simply follow the instructions on our migration page. In addition, customers can try SEP SBE risk free for 60 days.

Please note, if you have Mac endpoints, you will need to continue to protect them with the on premise version of SEP SBE, as our cloud version does not yet support Mac.
Symantec Protection Suite Small Business Edition is also impacted by this End of Life announcement, since it contains Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 12.1. Going forward the point products for Symantec Protection Suite Small Business Edition will be renewed individually.
