The licensing is the same for every platform SMART Migration works with — the IDE, the Nextcloud app and the Microsoft Teams app — and every licence includes the IDE.
Licence types
Section titled “Licence types”| Type | For |
|---|---|
| Commercial | The production licence: installed on one server, for any tenants and customers |
| Partner | A partner's own licence, for demonstrations, training and test environments: on any number of servers, but only with the partner's own domains |
| Trial | With the Nextcloud app: 7 days, the first 250 items per source — see Trial and licences |
Where a licence can run
Section titled “Where a licence can run”A commercial licence is installed on one server, and is not tied to a tenant or a customer. From that server SMART Migration can connect to as many Microsoft 365 tenants as the work needs, for one customer or several in turn — also from a server of your own, such as a partner's or a service provider's. Each tenant gets an app registration of its own (More than one tenant). In the IDE, a job can also migrate within one tenant or between two. Many migration tools are licensed per tenant, per user or per gigabyte moved; this one is licensed per server.
A partner licence can be installed on as many servers as the partner likes, but works only with the partner's own SharePoint Online and SharePoint domains and server names, listed when the licence is issued. It cannot connect to a customer's SharePoint Online: a customer project runs on a commercial licence.
Move a licence to another server
Section titled “Move a licence to another server”A commercial licence key is bound to the computer it is installed on. To move it — to a new VM, say — ask MigrateDMS to release the key from the current machine; then install it on the new one.
A server without internet access
Section titled “A server without internet access”The licence key is normally activated over the internet, against the licensing server. When the SMART Migration server has no internet access, request an activation key instead: it binds the licence key to that computer, with no connection needed.
Editions
Section titled “Editions”The editions are Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise+. Migration to Nextcloud needs Enterprise or Enterprise+.
- Enterprise+ on every platform: up to three times the Enterprise speed.
- Enterprise+ in the IDE: separate development, test and production environments, and — for SharePoint destinations — version history built from a data set.
