The Symantec Manufacturers License Program (SMLP) is open to manufacturers who create systems, peripherals, or vertical market software for resale and who are able to commit to shipments of at least 50,000 units per year. It offers manufacturing licenses for a variety of Symantec products including Norton AntiVirus 2006, Norton Internet Security 2006, Ghost Solution Suite, pcAnywhere 11.5, and Norton Ghost 10.0. This program allows manufacturers to work directly with Symantec, licensing products which they can duplicate or pre-install.
The Symantec Manufacturers License Program allows you to add value to the systems or peripherals you manufacture. By bundling industry leading Symantec security and utility software with your products, you create product differentiation and value-add. This will allow you to distinguish your products from the competition and maximize profits.
After signing the SMLP agreement, you are provided with a CD master of the software. You can pre-install the software on the hard drive of systems you are delivering. Or, with additional Symantec authorization, duplicate the CD for delivery with your system or peripheral.
