You will probably find that you need one license per protected user. I
considered changing from a per-desktop scheme to just putting McAfee
on an Exchange server, and that was definitely licensed that way. I'm
fairly sure the same applies to mail gateways.
NAI have a fairly "interesting" licensing scheme. It's very easy to
find that you are renting the licenses (this happened to me) and if
you choose not to renew you get a threatening letter from their legal
department warning you to delete all copies and sign a document
stating that you have done so.
