Difference between XMON and Exchange Version

[timh]

Can anyone tell me the basic difference between the nod32 Enterprise client running XMON and the exchange version. Is it that one runs on exchange and the other is on a client? I'm sure there is more to it otherwise why buy the exchange license?

thanks

xmon is the eXchange monitor - same thing I think you'll find.

{QUOTE-> XMON
XMON stands for MS Exchange MONitor which serves for scanning incoming and outgoing email, utilizing the MS VSAPI interface on MS Exchange servers. The minimum requirements are MS Exchange 5.5 SP3, MS Exchange Server 2000 SP1, MS Exchange 2003 or higher. The newer the version of MS Exchange server you have, the more features are available in XMON.
The removal of entire infected email is supported from MS Exchange server 2003. Otherwise, this option is unavailable and the appropriate check-box is grayed out.
Using XMON requires a 2nd license file. In the License Keys section (top of the Configuration Editor list: General / Settings), you can locate and add the license key for XMON (nod32.lic) that you have purchased <-QUOTE}

I just caught my mistake. My real question should have been:

What is the difference between XMON and EMON. What does a client lose by not purchasing XMON?

without XMON, the threat that arrives via email will sit on your network until XMON scans it during exchange server and client communication (scanned by the client) - with XMON, your exchange server will clean/remove the threat before the client even gets a chance to scan it.

XMON is designed specifically to run on an Exchange Server, to protect Exchange. EMON is designed to protect MS Outlook. On a server, you would not have EMON enabled, since you shouldn't have Outlook running on a server.
