How does Telemetry functionality work in Symantec Protection Engine (SPE) 7.x Product?

Resolution

What is Telemetry functionality

Telemetry is a way to collect SPE install based tracking data from Symantec customers. A ping is generated to the Symantec CED server over https and the collected data is sent to that server during install/uninstall/upgrade of our products.
 

Note Symantec recommends to keep telemetry enabled.

For more information on how Telemetry functionality works and other details, refer attached Telemetry FAQ document.
