The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CA E-Trust Antivirus Licensing

Asked by artemisit in Anti-Virus, Server Anti-Virus, Enterprise Anti-Virus

Tags: Computer Associates, E-Trust AntiVirus, 7.1

Hello!

I recently took over the account of a local business here in town from another IT company in the area.  I am trying to do an inventory of their network to see where they are technology wise and where we need to focus our attention.  In the course of doing this naturally one of the things that must be looked at is the antivirus solution being used.  Here is my delimma:

I have discovered that my customer is using E-Trust Antivirus version 7.1.  When I view the "About" seciton on their server I see that box has the spaces for their license, licensed to, and SiteID but there is nothing there.  I have included a screen shot so you can see what I am seeing.

My immediate concern is that their antivirus licensing has expired and I want to know that they are protected.  I look at their version info and I see that their definitions are up to date.  I have a screen shot included as well.

I call CA and they tell me that the licensing for e-trust version 7.1 does not expire for 25 to 30 YEARS......YEARS!   Is this accurate?  Has anyone else encountered this?

So, here are my questions:
1.  Each of the PC's has this same version installed on them.  I want to make sure that their definitions are up to date.  If I reference the screen shot on the server, two of the VET definition files are current with today's date and the third is date 5/14/2008.  Is this file supposed to be updating as well?

2.  Is the 25 to 30 years license accurate?  It seems a little far fetched considering version 8.1 he said only has a shelf life of 1 year, then it must be renewed.

3.  Can anyone give me any more details concerning e-trust 7.1?  I need some basic information about this version since I am new to it and was hoping to get a few pointers.  

Thanks in advance for any help!

Nick
