ME020149 - INF: What happens when Professional or Enterprise Edition expires?

SUMMARY

What happens when the evaluation period expires for MailEnable Professional and Enterprise.

DETAIL

When the Professional or Enterprise Edition evaluation expires, only the features that are not included in Standard Edition are affected. This ensures that mail will continue to flow through the system and the effect of the expiration does not severely inhibit the end users.

Currently, the following functionality is inhibited:

1. The ability to download attachments via web mail

2. MTA Filtering (including antivirus)

3. IMAP functionality (once the server is rebooted, or the IMAP service is restarted)

4. DKIM is not available in admin

5. Advertising options no longer available in admin

6. Spam protection is not available in admin

7. SyncML administration no longer available

8. Archiving administration no longer available

9. Webadmin administration optional features not configurable

10. Abuse prevention is not configurable

11. Auditing is not configurable

12. Log archiving is not configurable

As such, when Professional or Enterprise Edition expires, it is equivalent to running the Standard Edition (i.e. POP/SMTP/Lists, etc is not are not affected by the expiry). 

For those using Standard Edition wishing to evaluate MailEnable Professional, but later deciding to revert to Standard Edition, it will be required to uninstall Professional Edition and then re-install Standard Edition.

To uninstall you should use the MailEnable Backup Utility and then restore.

Note: If the license key is invalid or the computer name of the machine has expired then the licensing application will return an error code: REG-004.
