Is it just me, or did the switch to the new licensing model break things?
Here's the scenario: I have an ASG110 that was licensed under the old model, which included goodies like email filtering & reporting. And I had it enabled.
When it came time to renew, I had the option to switch to the new model. Pro: get an extra year of support; Con: loose email filtering. No sweat--I can do without the email filtering because I've already got an upstream service doing the "heavy lifting".
As soon as I updated the license, however, mail stopped being transported into my system. No sweat; the upstream service was sending via non-standard port, and I changed the NAT mapping to forward the traffic directly to my mailhost.
Problem solved? Nope! Fast forward to yesterday: for the first time in ages, I needed to send a message from and outside SMTP client, and the darned thing won't work. No traffic whatsoever is permitted to ingress on port 25, even though I have the NAT rule defined.
On top of that, I cannot get into the Mail Security controls because I'm no longer licensed--apparently there's a defect where "disabling" a service because of licensing doesn't mean "no benefit", it means "no transport".
I will be opening a support case for this issue, but I thought I'd warn everyone out there to manually disable services (and test the change!) before you switch to a licensing model that would lock you out.
