>Take a look at what NAI (Network Associates - the people who put out McAfee AV)does for their corporate clients - if you have a site license, then for each seat license you pay for, you not only license a machine at your site, but one of your employee's home systems as well! It wasn't from the goodness of their hearts - it was one more reason for corporations to use McAfee as their AV softwarebuying it from NAI instead of Symantec's Norton AV. As someone who made the decision to go with NAI's TVD package, I can guarentee you that this entered into the purchase decision, because when we have people working from home, it's to our advantage to have our people use a legal and current copy of a solidly-supported AV product.

>It's a way that NAI made it that much more attractive to use their product rather than the competition's stuff, with the realization that they weren't losing business - rather than forcing people to pirate stuff, they generated a whole lot of good will by letting our people not steal from them! A neat and reasonable solution to some of the piracy issues.

You're quite right - that's a primary reason we went to NAI here, one site license covers all users from both work & RAS...a smart move on their part.
