[ QUOTE ] It also worries me because the communication I had with the support team gave me the impression that Astaro is rather satisfied with the way licenses are counted today. And if it is so, there is little chance of the system being fixed before the license count starts to be enforced by the system

I get the impression they are happy with license counting also and I agree it introduces more micromanagement and inconveniant reboots.
FWIW, I have grave concerns about the license management in 5.x if it's going to count ICMP or other packets to addreses that don't exist, or to broadcast & network (.0) addresses.
For our web servers, we're using 3.x, and planning on upgrading to 5.x, but considering the slight price increases, plus the cost of the IPS licenses, we are going to try to reduce our IP license as we aren't actually using most of the IPs.
We would like to keep ICMP on, etc., but from what it sounds like, that's not going to work.
Hi,
if they are happy with license counting - right.
i have setup a asl v5.024 without an default-route all routes static and the license count says "0 ip's counted" but there are working about 200 people across it. cheap-license.

(for those who may think bad of this : there is an unlimited license on this box.)
We are running the latest version on a timenet appliance. No problems at all, nice support from our local supplier. Also have the latest version running on 2 PC's. No problems with them either. Ok, there are some bugs wich could have something to do with exotic hardware or configurations. As far as I'm concerned all the criticism is a bit over the top. The Astro team could spend some time answering messages ons this board however.
