I have been using Avast Home edition on my personal computers since 2003. I started a new job a couple of months ago and I got a MacBook Pro. I now use ClamXav but I want to change it to Avast for Mac.
My question is: Am I allowed to use Avast for Mac on my business computer? I am wondering this since I can only find a free Avast for Mac version and not one for a business.
I hope someone knows how it works because I want to do the right thing.
You can not use the free version for commercial purposes. It is clearly stated in the license agreement. See section 2 - “Permitted Use of the Software”
Then I will wait for the business version, so I can do it the right way
It would have been easier if it was clearly stated on the website that Avast for Mac is only free for
individuals and a business version will be coming soon.
avast! Free Antivirus für Mac enthält die gleiche ressourcenschonende, preisgekrönte und viel gelobte Antiviren- und Anti-Spyware-Engine wie avast! Free Antivirus Version 7. [b]Es ist für alle Benutzer völlig kostenlos – dies gilt für Heimanwender ebenso wie für Unternehmen[/b].
So, if it isn’t true (anymore…??), someone should correct that article…!!
The (Mac) business version is definitely available now. If you can not find it on the avast! web page (me either), than send an email to our support, they will help you to get it.
That’s very strange. I’ve only just seen this reply - but in the meantime I’ve checked the Avast site regularly for an announcement or even a mention on there of a mac business version. Why is it hidden?
Well it is now 2014 (two years later). Where the f**k is the business version? The only thing I have been able to find is Avast Pro for Mac through European resellers. A.) As a U.S. resident I don’t want to go through European resellers. B) Avast Pro for Mac isn’t really the product I want.
The product I want is Avast endpoint protection for mac (which would integrate seamlessly with the small office administration console and Enterprise Admin console). Why hasn’t this been developed yet? I can’t think of a good reason. I think there is certainly a market for such a product (your competitors are already doing this!).
Intego doesn’t look like it has an end point product (i.e. clients managed by a central management console). This is a must, which is why I said it my first post Avast Pro for Mac isn’t the product I want. I want Avast Endpoint Protection for Mac.
