Calculating number of licenses and price:

• The number of user licenses needed for each product is the greater of the total number of "computers" or "users" being protected by that product

• The total price is the sum of all of the individual products multiplied by any applicable sector discount
• 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
• If only server protection is required, the per server price list can be used as alternative to pricing based on the total number of users

Add-on pricing & licensing guidelines

• Sophos Client Firewall add-ons can be licensed in any quantity less than or equal to the Sophos Anti-Virus license quantity. e.g. 500 SAV and 200 SCF
