Is there a better way to manage subscriptions? It definitely is great hassle! Not to mention that the license is connected more to the user who invoke the new license and not simply to the whole organization. We are even considering other products if Avast has no plan to improve this. I think how Google Suite manage their licenses (per user) is a very good example. The possibility to pay monthly and flexibility to increase or reduce total licenses per month should be a goal for every service provider for total customer satisfaction.
