Licensing

[rokweiller]

We are currently evaluating Wingate VPN. Thus far, it seems to be working fine, except for one problem. Occasionally (usually), if both notebooks are inside the same subnet (wi-fi), both cannot connect to the remote hosts. One of the notebooks simply cannot connect and/or stay connected to either of three hosts at our ISP. Is this an issue using the purchased product?

Do we need to do anything other than apply the purchased license to go from 2.0.4 to 6.0.4?

What licensing is required?

Our architecture follows:

Three hosts are at our ISP. Two of the hosts are on a single switch and the other is on a switch by itself for now.

We work remotely using two notebooks at one or both of two locations, both inside wi-fi subnets.

The way we interpret your pricing page, we need the following:

Two WinGate VPN 2.0 gateway licenses for 3 user LAN @$74.95 each, one for each of the host switches. Or, would we only need one of these 3-user licenses for all three servers, even though two are on one subnet and the other is on a different subnet.

Two WinGate VPN 2.0 single user licenses @$54.95 each, one for each of our notebooks. We think that one single user license on each notebook will allow us to connect to any number of remote host networks. Is this correct?

Hi,

I've just replied to you by email, but in case you see this first:

The client dropping off could be caused by a problem that we've identified and hopefully fixed, let us know what OS you're using and we'll send you an updated driver.

I think that you're a little off on the licensing for the hosts, each installation of WinGate needs its own license so you'll need 3 licenses, one for each host. You can't install the software on a switch. However, if you don't need to access any machines behind the hosts you will only need a single user license for them.

You're spot-on for the notebooks!
