Dear iRedAdmin-Pro customers,
We decide to change some license terms of iRedAdmin-Pro, and the change will occur on Feb 01, 2015.
iRedAdmin-Pro will go close source (Python source files) since Feb 1, 2015. (Important note: iRedMail will be always free and open source, you don't need to worry about this.) We're preparing to pricing iRedAdmin-Pro based on number of mailboxes, this will benefits more small companies. And there will be an unlimited edition available just like current iRedAdmin-Pro.
No more NEW lifetime license. Lifetime license brings some hidden cost without further profit. So January is the last month you can upgrade existing license to a lifetime license, or purchase a lifetime license. Note: if you already own a lifetime license of iRedAdmin-Pro, it won't impact your mail services (IMAP/POP3/SMTP/HTTPS/webmail, etc), and it won't impact your mail accounts. With a lifetime license, you can always get new releases without additional cost, it's always a lifetime license, permanently free.
I know you may be shocked that we decide to switch from open source (iRedAdmin-Pro) to close source, this is really a hard decision for us. The purpose of these license term changes is to gain more profit and benefit more customers, especially small companies.
It's really a hard decision, and we must be honest. iRedMail project is now 7-year old (since 2007), we wish it will benefit you and more companies for a long time. Profit keeps iRedMail project moving on, and getting better.
For customers who modified iRedAdmin-Pro to achieve some new features, we're open to cooperate with you to work out some APIs for you to achieve same features, with easier maintenance, don't hesitate to contact us.
I want to emphasize one thing here, we will continue providing the excellent/quick support and active development as usual.
== UPDATE, Jan 7, 2015 ==
Removed one license term, it will not be applied. That means iRedAdmin-Pro will be still accessible after license expired, but no fixes/patches and new releases for expired license.
After license expired, iRedAdmin-Pro will be unaccessible, and customer has to purchase a new license to get the latest release of iRedAdmin-Pro. We encourage customers to keep their licenses active to get the latest iRedAdmin-Pro release. Note: This doesn't impact all mail services built by iRedMail at all.
