Question
How does GMS work out the number of users for licensing purposes?
Answer
The following are counted as users in GMS:
- POP/IMAP/WebMail account
- Forward address
- Info (Autopresonse)
- Robots (Processing)
- Script
Each may have up to 20 aliases.
GMS product licensing is based on a user basis. Each unique account that is created counts as one user for licensing purposes. As specified above, users are only counted as one of the specified types so an alias does not count as a user.
Access to various areas of GMS may be enabled or disabled on a per account basis by making use of profiles.
