1 advise really, don't use Norton, it's basically a memory bloat. There are lots of antivirus that are better than Norton, try to google for Nod32

1) after 1 year, u cant get any updates already ( for most antivirus software , u didnt mention what programme is it )
2) yes , 1 cd u can legally install up to the number of license you bought
3) no problem, but most retail version is retail pack 1 year license only,
4) depend on what antivirus software u using, some you can renew it online or renew from the vendor
5) i think about the same price, for symantec please go for symantec corporate version, get it from a symantec reseller, u can buy for say 20 user license , then maybe u wanna pay for 2 years or more , it'll be cheaper

Hi,

1. That depends on the product really, some products are functionality locked which means after 1 year, unless you renew the maintenance you dont get new AV signatures. Normally, most new licenses come with 1 year support and download and updates.
2. You might want to talk to your reseller to get a license certs instead of a box pack. Symantec (makers of Norton AV) offers certificate licenses starting from 5 users with 1 user increments which means you can buy 6 user license. Media is an optional purchase which I recommend or take the trouble to download via their website.
3. Most retail versions are meant for home users, whereby it does not have centralized management consoles. For corporate versions they come with the centralized management consoles. The difference is that with the retail version you need to do installation and configuration 1 at a time.
4. For Norton retail versions, renewals are done online via credit card, while for corporate versions you will receive a renewal notice and your reseller may sell you a renewal maintenance.
5. Norton is well known for their product quality in terms of catching virus and worms. Karpasky is usually cheaper as they need to fight a giant like Symantec(Norton). A good independent website to evaluate the AV strength is www.virusbtn.com

Hope that helps.

Okay, so we'll get a volume license for 5/> pc's.
Where do I get that license? What's this <antivirus company> reseller?
If for Symantec, where do i go? Which reseller has solid base in Malaysia?

some company buy the kaspersky OEM. 1 PC 1 KAV.
actually got 1 paper license for the kaspersky, but since ur workstation only 5units, sugget u get OEm 1.. more cheaper.
and just buy a new set after 1 year, replace the license key.
