  • Sophos Anti-Virus, Sophos Client Firewall and SAVI licenses can be used on any combination of supported operating systems

Endpoint & Fileserver pricing & licensing guidelines

  • If all computers and users in an organisation are being protected by Sophos Anti-Virus, then a server is counted as a computer and added to the total number of computers. e.g. 100 users with 100 desktop computers and 15 servers require a 115 user license at '100-199' band
