AVG will still make you increase by 5's and I am not sure the prorate is
the way you want but all copies can expire at the same date.

Usually (and the cheapest) you buy AVG for two years at a time. The
51-55th copies are a LOT CHEAPER than copies #6-#10. If you add #51-#55
during the first year you just pay the difference between buying 50 and
buying 55 at the outset. If you do so during the second year it is one
half that amount. Renewals are currently 75% of new.

All,

We're a small company (@20 PCs and servers) and are currently using Symantec
Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition for our AV protection. It is
protecting us well and saves me a lot of admin time, but I'm looking for
something different.

The reason is Symantec is a PITA to deal with. 1) You have to buy at least
5 licenses at a time when we'd like to buy 1 at a time, and 2) When you do
buy new licenses, you can't prorate them such that all licenses are renewed
at the same time.

What are the rest of you using for this? I'm sure there have to be others
with central admin.

Thanks.
