1. Is there a way to check the client its SBE or EE.
--> When you will go to modify features you will see the differences.
Check these articles:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-modify-installed-features-individual-client-small-business-edition
Also there are few differences I will let you know.
2. Can a SBE client report to a EE manager. and Vice versa.
--> Not possible.
3. Is there any registery key which specifies the SEP client as SBE or EE?
--> I will have to check more on this.
Thank you, Chetan
Yes, it does.
I have a question on SEP SBE: does it allow to centrally deploy agents using .msi install packages?
Hi Chetan,
On SEPM SBE is there an option for the client to get the update from SEPM server instead of directly connecting to Live Update server of Symantec?
I cannot find this comparison in your table, is it possbile for you to add a comparison in depth between the 2 vesion similar to what I have mention above?
So far only general information are included, if you can include those real time differences that IT personnel could encounter from clients then it would be very helpful.
Don't get the wrong idea your table is very informative, it is just that only general information is included.
Thanks,
Efren Carlos
Nice Article!!!
Gud one....
SONAR replaces the TruScan technology to identify malicious behavior of unknown threats using heuristics and reputation data. While TruScan runs on a schedule, SONAR runs at all times.
See Managing SONAR.

What's new in version 12.1
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55189
What is SONAR proactive threat scans ?? is this new technology in SEP 12.1 ?
I would like to clear your doubt.
Licenses are for both SEPM and SEP clients.
Major difference is in Small Business Edition SEPM & SEP clients will stop receiving definitions from all sources (i.e LUA, Symantec liveupdate server) if license expired.
In Enterprise Edition SEPM and SEP clients will not stop receiving definitions even if license expired.(But enough barriers are placed to track same)
About the license, I still comfused. As long as I know license only for SEPM nor for SEP, am I right?
Good Information
I have already spent more than an hour trying to figure out if my notification for upgrade to 12.1 gives me SBE or Enterprise.
You guys have GOT to straighten out your nomenclatures. Whenever I find references in support to version numbers, they use something COMPLETELY different from what I see in Help About. I have been in Information Technology for twenty years and this is MESSED UP.
