Just as an FYI, I finally was able to talk to a Symantec rep about licensing. Per Symantec, even using their Symantec Web Security v3.0 AntiVirus solution, you need a license for *each* workstation that will connect to the server. I tried to get clarification on what a "workstation" was (and told him that it's pretty much impossible to know how many computers may access your website via HTTP) and the rep's answer was if a computer connects to the server, you need a license.
So, in a nutshell--according to Symantec--it's very nearly impossible to run Symantec AntiVirus on the server and conform to their license. Here's their license: http://www.symantec.com/resellers/support/enterprise/sws/avcf_nt.html That said, their Symantec Corporate Small Business Edition, appears to have a different license: http://www.symantec.com/resellers/support/retail/smb.html Which according to the license seems like it's per server/workstation: "Count the total number of desktop/laptop computers to be protected by Symantec AntiVirus. This is the total number of units required by your customer. Each desktop, server and laptop count as one licensable unit." Dealing w/Symantec was a very sucky experience. -Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: Dan G.
