Robert,

I saw this after I sent you the PowerPoint slide.
If you look at the slide, all of the items in red come only with Full A5 all of the remaining A5 items come with A3+A5 
security.

We used this comparison chart to make our decision between A5 and A3+A5 security add on.

I'm sorry.  I should be more specific.  We will be purchasing A3 to cover our campus.  There is an option for 
A5-Security (add on).  I have been looking for something that shows specifically A3 vs A3 + A5 security.  Maybe it is 
the same thing, but I'm not sure.  The table you supplied does show A3 vs A5, which helps (thank you), but there isn't 
a lot of detail (a good point to start digging from tho).

Morning,

I'm doing some hunting on the A3 vs A5 licensing.  Has anybody purchased A3 + A5 Security?  Does anybody have a good 
comparison of A3 security to A5 security?
