    Hi Karl,
    sorry bit I did not make things as clear as I should, all clients do have AV
    solutions on thier desktop and on the SBS server, we are now only requiring
    a server license for the new Web server (seperate box).

    I agree that everyone should have an AV solution.

    thanks for you help

    regards

    Rossco
