how to activate zimbra mobile

[crankin]

In COS on my admin account there is no check box for Zimbra Mobile. Does anyone know how I might be able to download and install it?

Are you using the Network Edition? Contact sales at zimbra.com to purchase licenses http://www.zimbra.com/products/product_editions.html

(might do a zmcontrol -v and put the result in your forum profile so we know what version your running)

[crankin]

well here's the output looks like it's throwing some exceptions. I've just been using the open source version. I wasn't aware that it doesn't support Mobile. that's kinda lame.

Well zimbra's got to support themselves somehow! You have to admit-it's a serious amount of code that they give away for free-people run entire businesses off of it.

BTW 4.5.6 is out (be sure to do a backup before you upgrade)

yeah i agree, zimbra's great for doing what they do, it's just my business is small only 3 people, and I just can't justify spending that much at this time for simple push. so I'm just venting. but thanks for the help

iZimbra will be free though

Keep in mind that that's what the hosted providers make up for- http://www.zimbra.com/partners/zimbra_hosting.html

Yes 3 user's is not very many; If you do want to contact zimbra sales-
Possible things to discuss in your request for a special price:
-no support cases
-they may be able to set smaller values for "MAPIConnectorAccountsLimit", "MobileSyncAccountsLimit", "ISyncAccountsLimit", etc and reduce cost
-maybe also turning off "AttachmentConversionEnabled", HierarchicalStorageManagementEnabled", even BackupEnabled"...

thanks, that's not a bad idea i will call them and inquire about that. I host zimbra on a dedicated server right now. It's been great, systems like this really help small business like myself, who need good technology, and little to no cost. i can pretty much handle all the support myself. but thanks again for the info.

[crankin]

i just read up on the izimbra that is a great solution. and free

Don't forget there are also a slew of hosted providers setup to meet the needs of small businesses. Check out the list of providers here
