Sophos Licensing

Also, look into CommandSoft (http://www.commandsoftware.com/index.cfm).
I bought their product after I bought Sophos (I am running both). From cost-
perepectives Command is a great deal. I honestly do not trust Sophos as a
company anymore. The sales reps are not straight forward. The techs are good
but are not quick to admit screw-ups.

>From preformance perspectives, I am using Command with MailScanner since the
last screwed-up engine that Sophos released. It is much better than Sophos on
my end.

At any rate, my advice is to take your time evaluating other products. Sophos
is good but so are other products.
