Hi Bruce,
Assuming that the AV software in question does the job it is intended to do... that is, to protect the business system(s) it is purchased for and installed on... then why would there be any need whatsoever to also install the software on home machines attached to that/those business systems?
Is it because the software has certain deficiencies on its 'receiving end' and so benefits from also running on the 'sending end'? If so, wouldn't that mean that a buyer is not actually getting what they think they are getting?
If it's just a niceity for the folks who work there well, that *is* nice but shouldn't necessarily be a deal-maker. Though I could see buying this one on that basis to "encourage" other vendors of other software products to also offer similar in their agreements.
So now do you *HAVE TO* install it on your home machine, or is that optional?
Regards,
Jim N
