Subscriptions are offered on a per-seat basis, and provide subscribers with distinct advantages. + +The Benefits of Having a Kolab Subscription +=========================================== + +Subscriptions are an excellent way to support the ongoing development of Kolab, as proceeds go directly +into infrastructure Kolab development relies on as well as the employment of the core +Kolab technical team. + +But the most compelling aspect of subscriptions are the exclusive benefits that come with them. These +advantages reliably lower the cost of ownership and increase overall reliability for the customer, including: + +1. Access to rolling security and bugfix updates + + Non-subscribers will need to update their Kolab installations annually to get the last year's worth + of fixes and improvements. Subscribers, on the other hand, benefit immediately from fixes as they become + available between releases. Along with releases, all updates are cryptographically signed with Kolab + System's private GPG key allowing verification of the binaries. + +2. Five years of extended support for each release + + This is vitally important for production deployments, as significant changes may occur from one annual + release to the next. Performing “update the world” upgrades to production systems every year can be a + significant task and induce risk, both of which incur costs. Subscribers, on the other hand, can upgrade + when it fits their interests best, secure in the knowledge that the version of Kolab they are currently + running will be supported for years to come in that configuration. + + And of course, all released packages are kept in perpetuity, which grants additional management flexibility, + such as being able to downgrade specific components via the package manager if needed. + +3. Professional support from Kolab Systems + + If problems are encountered during setup, deployment, + migration or production usage, you can access the expertise of Kolab Systems' technical support team + through your subscription privileges, such as access to our internal ticketing system. Subscribers also + receive greater priority in the community support forums and other communication channels Kolab + Systems maintains. + +4. Professional services + + Kolab Systems' “Tiger Team” of specialists may be retained by those with active Kolab subscriptions. + Services which are available on a per-project basis include deployment planning and management, infrastructure + integration (e.g. with existing directory services, including Active Directory), custom development, and + white-labeling. For deployments with special requirements or that need to scale reliably, this expertise in + high-availability, load-balancing, cluster/cloud deployment, and integration is invaluable. + + Subscribers also have greater influence over where Kolab Systems focuses development resources for + upcoming releases in general. + +5. Access to optimized system packages + + By default, Kolab uses the stock packages for PHP, Apache HTTPD, MariaDB, openSSL and others that come + with the base operating system. Kolab Systems engineers have made many improvements to the configuration and + builds of these packages that are available exclusively to subscribers. + + These optimizations ensure, for instance, that Roundcube scales well and that encryption is set up in the most + secure way possible for Kolab's needs. Every production environment benefits from this tuning and fitness work, + and is only available to Kolab subscribers. + +Have Questions or Comments? +=========================== + +We welcome feedback from our users, customers and partners.
