I’ve used avast! free at home for years and really like it. This year I’m considering using avast! standard suite for work. I notice that standard suite contains rather a rather old product line, and having been hit by a change in licensing from another vendor in the past, I’m a little concerned that if I move to avast! now, I may have the same problem when it upgrades, which I assume will happen soon.
The way I understand standard suite license, I can buy 70 licenses and use up to 8 of those on servers. I love that model. What happened to me before is shortly after I purchased the suite license, they removed server support from the suite and wanted to charge hundreds of dollars for the same antivirus just because it runs on a server OS. I don’t need Exchange, or email server, or sharepoint–just basic antivirus like would run on every other computer on the network. So I don’t understand why the same basic antivirus has to cost 10x or 50x more on a server.
I’d like to know that I’m not going to lose server support if I buy standard suite.
I’ve started the standard suite trial already on some of our computers and am very happy with the smoothness of the transition. Thanks for a great product.
