I’m an avast user so I’m not entirely clear on it either, which is why I suggested posting on the USA Education Products forum.
The http://www.avast.com/en-us/education?utm_expid=22755838-7&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.avast.com%2Fen-us%2Fstore page when mentioning free, I don’t believe is talking about the standard avast free version.
[b]How does the AVAST Free for Education program work and what is included?[/b]
AVAST has been protecting home users for free for many years and to great acclaim. To support hard-pressed educational institutions – both K-12 and post-secondary – we’ve extended this home-based free protection to the educational sector.
Here’s what you get
All public educational institutions in the US are eligible to use AVAST’s premium, business-grade avast! Endpoint Protection Suite at no cost. Each educational license includes two central management control options, which enables IT administrators to remotely manage antivirus protection on laptops, desktops and servers across any campus, large or small.
This appears to be talking about the endpoint protection suite rather than avast free, “AVAST’s premium, business-grade avast! Endpoint Protection Suite at no cost.”
So it certainly needs clarification.
