Scalix Forums

Good day,

I'm trying to find some old releases of Scalix server, and have had no luck searching around. Does anyone know where I would be able to grab old tarballs, or could somebody serve me up any?

Thanks!

Why do you need them ? The latest version has a lot of bug fixes and also provides more Enterprise users than previously.

Cheers

There was a version that I was able to install on Redhat 9. I'd like to be able to do that again.

Are you talking about Enterprise edition ?

Community Edition was released earlier this year and supported RHEL 3, RHEL 4, FC4, SLES 9 and SUSE Pro 9.3.

The last time we supported RH 9 was Enterprise edition 8.2 and that's going back to April 2004.

It wasn't supported at all, yet it worked. It was some version of community edition, I think, though it may have been a trial enterprise edition.

Just one more question, is this request at all a problem? I've googled for hours looking for older version downloads with no results. I'm not asking for much at all, just a simple link or a guiding hand.

I think it would have been worse had I asked "why doesn't the installer work on RH9?". At least I'm trying to solve my own problem.

I checked through our records and I can't find any indication that you are a customer. I can see that you downloaded the Community Edition a couple of times.

The license for the evaluation versions state that you can only use the product for 30 days. If you're looking to install it again to use, we need to understand your requirements.

Because a trial version of the Enterprise software needs to be approved by Sales, I need to know who you are. Please can you mail a message to support@scalix.com and detail who you requested the trial version from and if there was anyone in Sales that you were speaking with about the evaluation you were doing.

I'm looking for community edition.

So far, we've only had 3 versions of Community Edition. The two latest versions are both patches to the original code so there would have been no platform-specific changes. So, whatever version of the Community Edition you downloaded will be good enough.

Hmm.. thanks for your help. I'll wangle with this version for a while.

In the meantime, are there any other forumers out there that happen to have older install tarballs? I'd like to give it a shot, anyway.

I'd like to help you but I'm obviously getting confused about what you're asking for.

What is it specifically about an older version of Community Edition that you're looking for ?

As I said previously, none of them installed on RH9 and none of them were ever tested on RH9. The only versions that we ever released are about 3 months apart so there is no difference between them apart from the bug fixes and increased number of Enterprise users.

Don't want to get too legal here, but also, you should be aware that for versions before 9.4, no Community Edition existed. The license agreement for both eval versions and full/enterprise versions of older releases does not allow anybody to redistribute or forward the software to 3rd parties. So anybody who would be forwarding such tarballs would violate our licensing agreements as would be anyone using the software.

Having said that - any reason why you stick with RedHat 9? Fedora Core 4, which we support and which will happily run community edition seems a lot more powerful an operating system to me. It's also free and available for download. If you need a CD product that you can buy in the bookstore, I would go with SuSE.

You could then use our free and fully legal CE. This can be forwarded even between users, it does not have to be downloaded from our website or registered in any way.

cheers,
Florian.
