Hi Simon,
Been looking at it as well as it’s one less server to worry about and this is what I got from Datacom last Nov 16.
The Ministry of Education is carrying out feasibility studies in a test setup in coordination with Broadcom, for the migration of over 2500+ Schools to Symantec Endpoint Security (SEP V15 – Cloud). However, there is no ETA.

Thanks for your attached email dated Wednesday, December 2, 2020 9:55 AM
Our answers are given below.
- Q1 : Ok, so are there schools currently running Endpoint Security v15 (cloud) as part of this feasibility study?
- A1 : No, the MOE is testing it on their internal test setup.
- Q2 : Can we get in on this test?
- A2 : We will inform the MOE that you are interested in getting your school involved in the trials.
- Q3 : Does the current licensing agreement allow us to use endpoint security anyway?
- A3 : Logically speaking, YES. Refer to the following link for details of the current agreement.

With Defender now included in the MS agreement, does this mean that SEPM is definitely no longer available at the start of next year?
Just trying to plan the work ahead to replace these as COVID has pushed the school year right up to almost Christmas.

Any further update to this? I hear that the MOE is dropping SEP and instead going to pay for Windows Defender ATP? Some details would be great so we can start planning for this.
The Ministry is currently reviewing options around end point protection available. More information will be available late June. The Ministry has migrated our corporate devices to SEP15, but there is limitations to achieve this across the whole education system. If you send me an email I am happy to arrange a time to provide additional information. paul.stephen at http://Education.govt.nz
Hi Paul,
We also run SEP14 but separately purchased as an independent school. With the year progressing quickly I am curious to the MoE's plans in this area for when the existing MoE Symantec agreement expires at the end of the year. In particular in any plans to move to SEP15/cloud managed and wondering how your review is going?
Kind regards,
Craig.
The Ministry of Education agreement with Symantec runs until December 2021 and supports both SEP14 & SEP15 licensing, however with the change to Broadcom ownership we have found the licensing and deployment around SEP15 to be problematic. We continue to work with Symantec / Broadcom on a resolution but with 2,500 separate school tenants in NZ their licensing model just doesn't support this. We will be undertaking a review of end point protection in early 2021 and will post on here when we commence the work to enable your feedback on requirements.

Just curious for a show of hands of school still using Symantec on their school devices.
And for any schools that have gone full cloud, what are you using if anything as a replacement?
Is anyone using the cloud managed Symantec Endpoint? does the MoE licence deal cover this? (probably more of a datacom question)

Thanks for the information Paul, great news for schools.
Do you have any idea when private school licencing will be reviewed for both MS and Google?

The 92K early access licences (ie. those requested by schools and partners before the 1st January 2022) are available in schools' portals now.
If you still are not seeing the licences in your portal, please reach out to Datacom via nzsc...@datacom.co.nz.
For anyone else wishing to access Defender for Endpoint early and you haven't yet placed a request, you can so far via this Form Datacom have created:

Where can we verify that the licenses have been made available? I am not getting a response from Datacom and we’ve had a trial subscription so just having the ability to go into Security Center is not confirmation for us. Will it be listed under Your Products in the admin center as a separate line item?

@landyn as Datacom manage the licensing process on behalf of the Ministry, I trust you have raised your concerns with them so they can investigate further for you.
While delays are certainly frustrating, they are doing their best and it’s been a long year.

Thanks David.
Yes, I did fill out the form. I followed up on 29/11 with a note telling them today is the last full day of classes, was told they had a problem and that it was going to become available the same week. Followed up again 2 weeks later on 13/12 since it still hasn’t appeared but no response to-date.
I see that the licenses have popped up overnight. A bit tight to have all SEP clients removed by Jan 1st.
