As I read your requirements, the only version that will run on Win 2k Server is the $399 server one. Is this correct? The Pro version won't work?
This is correct. All editions of Windows server-based operating systems are supported under the Avast Server Edition, including Windows NT Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, Windows 2003 Server Web Edition, Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, Windows 2003 Server Datacenter Edition, and Windows Storage Server 2003.
If I have one Win 2K server and 10 other machines either running Win 2K Pro or XP, would I need the $399 version of server and 10 of the Pro versions or are the 10 included in the $399 server price?
As I understand it, you are purchasing (or would be) a single license for the Server Edition. There are no other programs included.
avast! 4 Server Edition is the most powerful protection to fight virus infections on your server or servers. It works both as a
standard protection of a file server, and also via its optional plug-ins as a protection of various server subsystems, such as electronic mail, firewall/proxy etc. Since it functions to protect your system/s at the server level, it should be sufficient to protect the servers in the network.
The only problem I forsee is EMAIL. If you have company email, then you should configure Avast to monitor ALL emails. If any of the users in any one subsystem can access their own email, then they will be susceptible to virus infection unless their computer has antivirus-email software installed.
