Sophos Licensing

[Dan Leavitt]

We just bought sophos for this purpose.  You do indeed need
the SAVI license.  We were told that we could buy that alone
or, depending on our needs and company size, it might be
more cost-effective to purchase the SAV Desktop license
which includes the use of SAVI and have desktop virus
protection as well.   We  opted for the latter.
