RE: [IMail Forum] Imail 2006 activation problem

[Christopher Jones]

If you do not activate Imail it will still run fine for 30 days….so if your server crashes you have a month to get in contact with Ipswitch and have them allow you another activation. So I can’t really see this being a huge problem.

We worked a lot with open source software in the last month. Sometimes we used  a lot of time to find correct manuals, updates, or even help. Now i say "free is not always cheaper".    Regarding the # installation limits of Ipswitch: This "trap" should be better declared somewhere. The best location might be on the paper of the serial key. This would legalize this limitations, in some countries limitations like this must be declared. If not, it's illegal. This issue has already reported to Ipswitch.   Maybe for IMail the limit should increased from two to three. Most of us are testing the products first before a rollout to the products occurs. So, the maximum is reached.  After a year, maybe the server crashes and has to be reinstalled. A this stage, an admin is in more serious troubles and has not time to mess around for a new activation;-)     ============================================ Am Dienstag, 13.

Once you see the light you stop bending over for these idiot companies that force activation, force expensive upgrades, eliminate your product, etc.    Tucows also has an excellent outsourced hosted e-mail service that is very affordable. I actually use that for mail.phatmacs.com. Very slick.    -Ron      To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html  List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/  Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/          ============================================   --    Mit freundlichen Grüssen   -------------------------------------------- Merlin Consulting Martin Schaible Bahnhofstrasse 27 CH-8702 Zollikon   Phone:   +41 44 391 30 00 Fax:     +41 44 391 32 49   Mail:    mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL:     http://www.merlinconsulting.ch Support: http://support.merlinconsulting.ch   GPS:     N47 20.235 E8 34.226 -------------------------------------------- News - Neue Produkte:   .:.
