Topic: Multiple subdomain installation license

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): Not yet installed
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 7.0 x64
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? : Yes (Like to)
- Related log if you're reporting an issue: N/A.
====

Hi,

I would like to purchase a license that would allow me to install iRedAdmin-Pro on multiple servers on the same domain (sub-domains). Is this possible? My business model comprises of multiple small email servers instead of a single large one, so purchasing 10 or more licenses would turn out to be too expensive for me and my clients.

It's not illegal according to our license terms. it's licensed per-server, not per-domain.

Do you have all mail accounts stored in one SQL/LDAP server? then replicate SQL/LDAP on other servers?

Yes, according to the license terms its licensed per server, so am I in violation if I install on multiple servers (subdomains)?

No, the main reason for using multiple smaller email clusters is to avoid this kind of 'single point of failure'. To put it into perspective, I plan to use individual email servers for all clients, sometimes even multiple small email clusters for the same client.

I really liked iRedAdmin-Pro, hope you could work out the license terms for me smile

Yes, it's illegal.

I'm afraid that we don't have a better license terms for this situation. Sorry.

Re: Multiple subdomain installation license

Could you work out a multiple subdomain server license for me?

Eg: For installation on server1.example.com ; server2.example.com, etc.
