With UCS-4.0-0 + errata19 the limits of the “Free for personal use” license have been raised from 5 users and 5 computers to 50 users and 50 computers.

  • For already fully licensed domains nothing changes. They will neither benefit from these increased limits nor is any manual interaction required.
  • Newly installed systems will automatically use the new licence and will benefit from these new limits automatically.
  • Previously installed systems, which have not been activated yet through registration for the Univention App-Center, will be upgraded automatically and will benefit from these new limits.
  • For registered systems the activation must be repeated to get a new license with the increased limits. The exact procedure is described below:

  4. Open the same menu again and navigate to “Activation of UCS” this time: License activation
  5. Enter your email address and press “Activate”.
  6. Wait for the email containing the new license file to arrive. Copy the attached “ucs.license” file to a local directory or copy the content into the clipboard.
