Correct me if I'm wrong, but  presumably you are running this on a server
and not a workstation.  Therefore, you should buy the server version of
f-prot.

To deliberately buy a workstation version and run it on a server might be a
cheap way of doing things, but it's breaking the spirit if not the letter of
your licence agreement and it's not what an IT professional should be doing.

Anyhow, the f-prot web site
(http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/products/fplin.html) refers to only 3 licence
options for its Linux product:

1. F-Prot Linux for Small Business, $300 per server.  I'm using this with
MailScanner.
2. A free version of F-Prot Linux for Small Business for "personal" users
"when used on personal workstations".
3. F-Prot Linux for Enterprise Business, $450 per server.
