All you need is the Desktop edition. The only thing you need is the
command-line-based scanner, which is included in all versions. None of the
extra facilities in the "server" or "mail server" versions will be used.

And as their software licence fails to define the terms "workstation",
"server" or "mail server", they can hardly hold you in breach of their licence.
However, if you can afford it, you might like to buy the "server" version.
It doesn't offer any extra facilities that you will need, but none of us
really want F-Prot going bankrupt.
