It's not the initial cost it's the forced renewals. SAVCE has none and is a legit
product if any vendor still has stock.
Question is what IS the business pack version? 5 licenses of CE that keep on working
or 5 licenses that time out in a year?
Your response makes no sense to me. "Support" is not an issue, having to pay annual
renewal or face forced deactivation of license is my issue.

As far as I remember, With SAV CE one'd pay an annual fee per system, so
it's not that different from a single user licence, except support is
actually existing with the
CE license :) The actual subscription period may vary with CE, though,
e.g. a five-year subscription. Price may vary.
1. No go, sorry.
2. That all "depends". Concerning the AV engine, there's no difference.
Updates can be set to more frequently with CE, though.
If your clients are mainly SOHO, SAV standard licenses are usually sold
in 3-per-house-hold packages per CD (at least here in Europe). This
could (or couldn't) be an
alternative to the more expensive CE license, all depending on the
number of systems, and the determinated period of the contract.

Personally I like SAV CE 10.x since it's just AV & keeps on updating
w/o needing $$$ annual renewals. They can keep all that integrated
crap IMHO and I refuse to use any AV that holds customers hostage for
ransom on updates after 1 year no matter how good.
So the issues I'm running into with a pressing requirement of
acquiring legit Symantec SAV Corporate 10.2 for some customers are:
1. Does any legit seller actually stocking with SAVCE 10.2 single
license? They all got SAV Business 5-packs or larger, no SAVCE singles!
2. Symantec's site is not clear how/if SAV Business packs differ from
the single license SAVCE by *needing* $$$ annual service renewals &
activation to keep updating.
Would really like to get a source because I have several clients who
need AV in a business setting and SAVCE 10.2 is my choice.

For corporate use, Norton/Symantec still kicks. Updates are still
#one in the business.
