Hi All

Please forgive my ignorance on this subject.

For installing on a Windows Server, I am trying to figure out the difference between "Avast File Server Security" product at 1 seat for approx $300, and "Avast Endpoint Protection Suite" product at 5 seats for approx $150.

The main difference I see is that Endpoint protection is managed, but I cant figure out why File Server Security is so much more expensive. 

What am I missing?  Please don't just link me to the product pages, I've read them, and to me both products appear to do essentially the same thing :)   Even the side-by-side feature list at the bottom of https://www.avast.com/en-au/endpoint-protection-suite isn't very insightful.

Maybe it is cheaper per license because you have to purchase a minimum of five licenses. You can split those licenses between workstations and servers any way you please.

We have Endpoint Protection Suite Plus because we are running Exchange Server.
