Upgrading 11.0.1.22 license to SBE50 with 2 domains

[svawter]

We're currently using 20 Premium user licenses on 11.0.1.22 Community license with 2 domains in use (we changed our company name, but still receive a fair ammount of mail to the old domain).

We've purchased a 50 user license which I'd like to install before upgrading.

I plan to upgrade to 11.4 (as a seperate project) and was reading the release notes when I saw the note in "Fixed in Scalix 11.2", Scalix Admin Tools https://bugzilla.scalix.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15617 Bug 15617: SAC ignores the last domain when more than 1 domain exists in a license.

Will this effect me? The first domain listed is our new domain, the second is our old domain and Scalix internally identifies itself as the old domain where it uses FQDN (I have another project to rename the server to the current FQDN, following the notes in http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... ChangeFQDN)

Hi Steve

You should be OK with 11.4

The FQDN has nothing to do with mail going in and out of the sever. I would just leave that as is. Normally we just install servers with FQDN = yourdomain.local which has no bearing on mail.

So all in all you should have an easy time. You can alway role back to you old license if you do have an issue.

My real worry is not 11.4, but installing the dual domain license in 11.0, where there may still be a bug that causes it to ignore the second domain, which I need...

Hi

You should be able to upgrade to 11.4 first. Granted this will cut off some users from accessing the system untill the liciense is applied but it will only be for a short time.

Sorry if I'm being difficult, but my plan of attack currently is to:

1) rename the host (FQDN change)
2) install the license
3) upgrade

as 3 seperate events on 3 seperate days. According to the release notes, you can't upgrade a community license using more than 10 premium users (above 11.2 or so), first I'd need to change some of the premium users to standard (which would break the Scalix Outlook Connector for them)...

Hi

Yes you will need to down grade some of the users. Hopefully this will be done as part of the upgrade at which time I would normally expect that the users will not be connected to the server.

Doing the steps you have outlined in 3 clear steps is a good idea. the biggest of all steps is to change the FQDN. You will need to test SWA, SAC, Mobile clients etc very carefully after you make this change.
