Subject: BitDefender Business Security - Questions
Hi *****,
Just to let you know, the trial is proceeding and I'm pretty happy with it
so far. Next week I'll be testing the Samba component and then I think I'll
be ready to make a decision. I have a collection of questions in no
particular order:
Is it true that the license code is distributed to the client on install, so
the client functionality will continue to work if it is disconnected from
the management server ? This is important for us both for mobile users and
for off-lan users which may periodically be unreachable from the management
station.
Is there any rational way to limit/simplify the messages generated by the
firewall component or have a centralized standard set of answers? I'd sure
like to have this level of protection on all my systems, but half the
unsophisticated users would panic when they got a firewall prompt, and the
other half would just click yes to anything. What are your
thoughts/experiences with this ?
Do protected servers just count as another client ? For example, if we buy
a 50 seat license can we have 3 servers and then later add servers as long
as we have an extra seat for each?
Can we get somewhat flexible licensing ? For example we may need 55 or 60
seats to start out with, and may need to add more later.
That's all I can think of at the moment. I'll be out of the office on
Monday, fwiw.
Thanks,
Jeff Dickens

Hello Jeff Dickens
The best thing is that you contact customer care : http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Live-Assistance.html

Hate to be Captain Obvious, but you can't use "Live Assistance" unless you're registered, and you can't register until after you buy a license.
You would already have money (with a comma in it) if I could just get some simple questions answered in a timely fashion. Now my eval licenses are going to no doubt expire before I ever get my answers.
I did get one reply, and my questions were very well answered indeed, but I followed up with more questions on the Samba product and there is no reply.0 -

Hi Jeff,
That's wrong. I don't have an account at BitDefender and I asked for help on LiveAssistance many times. They were very helpful.
Try it
Cris.
Edit:You can also try this : http://www.bitdefender.com/site/contact/
That's just like sending an e-mail to support@bitdefender.com0 -

I will try again.
Silly me, I didn't think to click on the lady's face to start the session.
So I got through quickly and just as quickly found that there was no Linux expertise available via that method, so they opened a ticket for me.
They also told me that the support questions I had addressed to support@bitdefender.us (as per the manuals I have) should have gone to support@bitdefender.com. I will send them again.0 -

*Still* no reply *at all* ! Not to my repeated emails, not to the ticket the online support person supposedly opened.0 -
I'll give you an email tommorrow with all the information that you need if you can give me your e-mail in personal message on this forum or write me at fstiuca|at|bitdefender|dot|com
