Hello all,
The new SEP 14 has been available since October 2016. Just raising awareness that, as is normal and expected, the clock has started ticking down for the older version SEP 12.1. Originally released in July 2011, SEP 12.1 will reach its End of Life in coming years. Full details, dates and a FAQ can be found in the following article:
End of Support Life for Endpoint Protection 12.x

I recommend migrating SEP 12.1 endpoints and management components to the newer SEP 14 in the medium term rather than putting it off to a far distant date. The improved security features in SEP 14 are proving to be excellent at stopping malware.
Upgrade or migrate to Endpoint Protection 14
