I agree to your postings and I am also disappointed that they have disabled the snort thing. Disabling a feature due to 3rd party licensing is for sure but they should keep in mind that the most bugs were discovered by "Home User" because the have the ability to fumble around with the ASL. In a productive environment the danger of doing very bad things let the most admins keep their settings for ever and ever - okay adjusting spam rules or up2date things....
Pleaseeeeeee enable the Snort Feature for Home Users. They wouldn't disappoint you.
Very, very, very strange!!!!!! As you can read below i ask for a power user license a couple of weeks ago (16/3/2004). Although they offer it at there homepage (stiil do) they could'nt provide me one. Reason was "We have so many requests for such a license, that we found it necessary to implement tighter controls for eligibility." But they told me that, besides 2000 concurrent connections, ALL other checks would be switched off. At that point i thought that the only limitations was 2000 concurrent connections, can live with that, and the rest 'open' but i'm not so sure anymore Can someone explain that to me?

please understand that I cannot issue a Power Homeuse License. But we offer a free homeuse license which can be obtained @ register.astaro.com. It is equal to our office version (limited to three interfaces, 5 SMTP tunnel, 10 VPN remote keys). In version 5 the homeuse license will be limited to 2000 concurrent connections (which isn't a real limitation in a home environment) All other checks will be switched off.
this means that V5 is not limited to an amount of NIC interfaces and SMTP domains (which was a limitation in V4) anymore. So for many users there is no more need for the power license which they needed to connect their several DMZs, home-subnetworks, etc.

Depends on the way you read it... i'm affraid... and the way it was be written in... Afterall, what is the use of more conncurent connecting for testing purpose (that's what i asked, a way to be able tests setups) when the rest is disabled?
That's the same reason why i want to test the beta! So i did, give input for what it's worth, and now? NOTHING! Even spam control seems to be removed. Is this another bug or is this the way it's gonna be?
I just installed up2date package v5.001 and nothing on the licensing page has changed. We will probably see 2 or 3 up2date packages a day for the next couple of weeks while they still iron out issues with v5.0. I was told earlier this evening that this isn't actually the gold release of v5.0 (contrary to the Press Release), v5.0 is officially Release Candidate 1 (RC1). I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Astaro will re-enable SNORT for home users when the RC is completed.
the Up2Date package 5.001 was a "for-internal-test only" package... Sorry, we forgot to delete it while the upload of the V5 ISO image.
I would recommend to reinstall a clean V5 image, because the Up2Date 5.001 contains only test application and will prevent you from install the correct (upcoming) 5.001.
Can someone explain that to me?
