- Device; per Computer
- Definition
- Licensing Guidelines: "'Computer' means any device or computing environment which benefits from the Product ..." The Product does not have to be physically installed, the hardware need not be owned by the Customer, and "The term Computer as defined herein includes, without limitation, non-persistent deployments, electronic devices that are capable of retrieving data, and virtual machines."
- Counting rules
- Used where Sophos, at its option, licenses education, health or government entities per Computer instead of per User. Virtual machines and non-persistent (VDI) deployments count as Computers. If such an entitlement is transferred outside those sectors it reverts to per-User counting.
- Floors / minimums
- Where a bundle mixes email and non-email Products, the licence count must be the higher of the Computer count and the mailbox count.
