I'm just after talking with the Sophos distributor for Ireland as I'm
looking to renew some savi licenses that I have.
I've now been told that the license is based on the number of users that
will benefit from the product as opposed to the number of users that use it.
Can anybody shed a bit of light on this ?
By this logic if someone inside sends an infected mail to 1000 people
outside the organisation and my mailscanner grabs it 1000 people have
benefited.
Or if I had a webserver that ran icheckd, theoretically every user that
visits the website benefits.

Is this the new Sophos stance ?
Start slower and license you to infinity.
If so I'll be moving to a different engine.

Great product btw Julian, it's made my life a lot easier.
