updates through hot fixes will become discretional.

MailEnable version numbers are formatted as follows:
MajorVersionNumber.MinorVersionNumber
Under MailEnable's Perpetual license, all minor version updates are
provided free of charge. Minor version releases often include software
revisions as well as increases in functionality. Major version upgrades
are scheduled for release approximately every 18 months to 2 years. You
will be entitled to a free software upgrade to the current major version
if you have purchased a full version of MailEnable in the last 2 months.*
When a new version is released, MailEnable will continue to provide
support and critical/security fixes for the previous version for at least
12 months after release of the new version. After this time, fixes
will be supplied on a discretionary basis and only paid support requests
pertaining to the superseded version will be serviced.
When upgrading from an earlier version of the product to a new major
version of the product, a discount may be applicable. MailEnable may
also provide additional discounts or incentives through promotions from
time to time. For more information on upgrades see: http://www.mailenable.com/upgrade
Virtual Servers
Virtual Servers require a separate license for each instance. You will
receive a 10% discount on the purchase of your second license (provided
you purchase using the same email address).
Backup Servers
If you wish to run MailEnable Professional or Enterprise Edition on a
back-up server as well as your production server you will need to purchase
a second copy and license that server also. You will receive a 10%
discount on the purchase of your second license (provided you purchase
using the same email address).
Transferring Licenses
Under some circumstances, MailEnable will allow you to transfer your license to a third party.
In order to transfer a license to a third party, you must have purchased the license directly from MailEnable
(i.e. you cannot transfer a license that is bought from a reseller).
Fully paid perpetual licenses that have been purchased directly from
MailEnable can be purchased by another party from the current license
holder. Such transfers can only be achieved by having the current license
holder notify sales@mailenable.com of the transfer and providing the
e-mail address and name of the new owner.
MailEnable will then assign that license to the new owner and the new
owner will be able to manage the license under their own online services
account. Please note that a service fee of $30.00 USD is applicable for
managing the license transfer (this is necessary to reasonably cover
the administrative cost).
Support tokens
When you purchase MailEnable, you are provided with two (2) support tokens
that are intended for use in assisting you to install and configure the
product. These tokens expire after 3 months from the purchase date. Some
support categories do not require the use of a support token. See http://www.mailenable.com/support.asp
for more information.
How do I license MailEnable?
MailEnable Professional and Enterprise Editions are licensed on a per
server basis. There are two primary ways that you can register/license
these versions.
For Computers Connected to the Internet
When you install MailEnable Professional or Enterprise, a registration
application is made available under the MailEnable program group. This
registration application queries your system and submits your registration
details to the licensing server. You will need to be connected to the
Internet to use this utility to register MailEnable. This utility provides
a number of payment mechanisms ranging from online-credit card payments to
faxed purchase orders. If you register using online credit card details,
MailEnable will immediately acquire a registration key and register it
with the server. However, if you choose any other payment mechanism, it
simply lodges your registration request with the payment server (assuming
that you will reconcile payment by fax or purchase order). Once MailEnable
receives notification of payment mechanism, your license key will be
generated and mailed to the nominated e-mail address.
For Computers not connected to the Internet
If your computer is not connected to the Internet, you will need to lodge
your computer details via MailEnable's
web site. Once this has been processed your license key will be
generated and mailed to the designated e-mail address. The license key
that you receive must be manually entered into the registration utility
(located under the Mail Enable program group on your server).

Licensing disputes
If ownership of a license is found to be in dispute and reasonable
proof of ownership cannot be established, the license will remain with the
registered owner until agreement can be reached on license ownership, and
all parties notify MailEnable to that effect.
MailEnable licensing terms do not explicitly grant the right to
transfer ownership of licenses to the licensee; therefore any license
transfers are at the discretion of MailEnable. If the licensee wishes to
transfer their license, they should notify MailEnable with the details of
the new license holder. It is also the responsibility of the original
license holder to ensure that the intended license holder understands the
End User License Agreement as outlined in MailEnable's licensing policy.
