avast! Standard Suite 10, 1 year licences

Product Description

avast! Standard suite is a cost effective solution to virus protection for Windows-based servers and workstations (Windows 95/98/ME and NT4/2000/XP/2003).

It consists of the following components:

• avast! Professional Edition (or, avast! NetClient Edition for the use with ADNM) for the protection of workstations,
• avast! Server Edition (or, avast! NetServer Edition for use with ADNM) for the protection of servers, and
• avast! Distributed Network Manager (ADNM) for central administration.

Please note that the Standard Suite does not provide any protection of mail servers (such as Exchange or Linux MTA's). For a more complete solution, please consider the Advanced and Enterprise Suites.

avast! Standard Suite is offered from 10 licenses (which covers up to 10 machines, of which up to two are servers). Generally, the maximum number of servers is determined as the number of suite licenses divided by ten, plus one. For example, a 24-license Standard Suite lets you cover up to 3 servers. A 100-license pack covers up to 11 servers, and so on.

Further Information

Pricing example

Your company is using 89 workstations with Windows XP and 10 Windows 2003 Servers. Traditionally, you'd need to purchase 89 licenses of avast! Professional Edition and 10 licenses of avast! Server Edition.

That is, for a 1-year contract, you'd pay for 4 avast! Server Editions (10 x £149.00 ) and 89 avast! Professional Editions (89 x £10.95) - i.e., the final price would be £2464.55.

If you take the Suite approach, however, you'll simply pay for 100 licenses of the Suite, that is 100 x £15.89 = £1589.00. This is a £875.55 (about 35%) saving!

Volume discounts

As you can see from the table above, the price per license decreases with the number of licenses. In some cases, you can even purchase more licenses for less! For example, imagine you need protection for a 45-node network for 1 year. The list price of 45 licenses of avast! Standard Suite is 45 x £21.95 = £987.75; however, 50 licenses of the same product would cost 50 x £18.95 = £947.50! - i.e. less! You don't have to use all the licenses right away, but as your business grows they may become handy in the future.

Always check the price of a larger license pack before placing your order – you may actually save by purchasing more. The avast! online price calculator can help you!
