Title: Imail Collaboration Suite and Imail 7.15

Sharyn,

 

Yes, ICS contains IMail Server as one of the components of the Suite.

 

Installing ICS would overwrite your existing IMail installation, with the current version. So, no, you cannot have the old version of IMail running in parallel with the new one from ICS.

 

I've heard that you can install ICS/IMail 2006 over a V7.x version and be successful, although we only claim it works with V8.x versions. In the past, the same was true (only back one major version), but almost always you would not have any problems installing one newer by 2 major versions (V6 over V4 or V8 over V6).

 

IMail/ICS is now using a License Key technology and to get past the 30 day evaluation period, you will need a license key beyond that time! So if you are really evaluating IMail/ICS, I would recommend a different computer, so your existing one will keep operating beyond 30 days (and without a full backup of the system, going back to V7 could be a significant project).

 

Thanks for evaluating ICS/IMail!

Daniel Donnelly

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail Collaboration Suite and Imail 7.15

Hi,

I have some questions about Imail Collaboration Suite.

Is this the same as Imail 2006? I have been looking at the Ipswitch website but I'm not exactly sure if this is the same, and if not, what the difference is?

Also, I am currently running Imail 7.15.

Can one do an upgrade on this or is a fresh install necessary?

Can one run both Imail 7.15 and Imail 2006/Collaboration Suite on the same server with separate IP addresses/NICs and separate user accounts/Domains?

TIA,
Sharyn
