Hello everybody

I was at the egroupware site and read, that you have to purchase “tickets” (22 euros for each person per month) that you may want to be logged simultaneusly. What is that? Wasnt this supposed to be free stuff?

second thing, in the manual (for $ale also, the large one) it says speaks of “extended user access rights” what is that extended?

My question: can that be used as an extranet in the sense that I create several projects and then each client can access through his login to just His project related stuff?

And the last worrying thing: it reads, you may not use egroupware for commercial purposes! heaven, why would anybody want such a software if it is not within the frame of your daily work?

EGroupware is open source (GPL licensed). That does NOT mean everything
around it is free.

Stylite GmbH, the main developer of EGroupware, offers hosting and other
services around EGroupware. These are of cause not for free, what do you
expect.

You can download EGroupware and install it on your own.

Sure

Where do you read that? It’s simply not the truth. You might have
misunderstood something.

Vielen Dank

Ich nehme als eine Ehre dass der Schoepfer selbst mir geantwortet hat. Ihre Software ist wunderbar, die deutschen, die besten DB programmierer der Welt. Natuerlich hatte Ich nicht erwartet dass der hosting frei sein koennte.

Damit Ich nichts falsches mache, muss Ich noch ueber Folgendes sicher sein:

  1. If I include this as part of my web, how much do I have to pay? , or is it that you charge only when they are hosted in your web server?

Supposing that one has to pay for putting the software on his website, regardless of where it is hosted, then how can one pay for the expected number of persons that can be logged simulteneusly? If it is for the customers, I could have maybe 20 one month, or 12 and then 20 workers that at random times need to log in, how can i manage such number of variable people in terms of knowing how much to pay for all that?

thank you very much and sorry for taking your very valuable time with my simple questions
Ich bedanke mich ganz ganz herzlich fuer Ihre Zeit und gratuliere nochmals fuer einen ausgezeichneten Job.

You pay nothing if you manage everything yourselv and don’t use the
Stylite services which are:

  • Hosting
  • Maintenance
  • Support etc.

Supposing that one has to pay for putting the software on his website,
… which is wrong.

This is a floating license policy. The software can be restricted if you
configure it that way (or it will be restricted if someone else does the
maintenance). You need to know your limits. :wink:
