Good morning.  As A3 licensees who long for A5 functionality for Security I have only a couple items I can clearly 
identify not having--

With A3 you don't get.....ATP and the ability to centrally manage endpoint protection and distribute the Mac client for 
endpoint protection. Additionally, for this last time you need an additional SQL instance. I've hit some functions 
within some consoles I get told I don't have a license but I've given up on keeping track of them.

These are just 2 that were huge for us.

best,
Vince

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?
