Beta -> Registered Version
« on: May 19, 2004, 11:18:44 AM »
As you might have guessed i am testing the beta across my network. Will it be possible to update to a commercial licence once the beta period is over?

Absolutely.

Well, at least in the case of workstations (the "agents", i.e. the avast's on the individual computers).

In case of the AMS and/or the consoles, you may need to reinstall due to changes in DB structure but that should be fairly easy.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

   Is this just going to be an automatic update for installed Professional clients or will clients have to be redeployed?  I assume from this statement that adnm is not going to administer the professional version?  Will there be a cost difference between the Pro version and the netclient version?

Semi-automatic. You'll have to replace one file in the Pro's installation folder. It will then update to the netclient.

Well roughly netclient = pro+agent. Without the agent, it won't work obviously... so - yes, you need the netclient.

No. ADNM will be "complimentary" (of course, provided you have the apropriate number of Pro/Server Edition licenses)...

Hope this helps,
