Understanding “Unlimited Users”

Aid4Mail Enterprise provides organizational flexibility, not simultaneous access

With one Aid4Mail Enterprise license, your organization can deploy the software to unlimited internal users—but access follows a sequential model, similar to sharing a specialized piece of equipment. Think of it like a library book: anyone in your organization can use it, but only one person at a time.

Server Deployment

Central installation for team access

  • Install on Windows Server or workstation
  • GUI: One user session at a time
  • Can run multiple concurrent processing tasks
  • CLI: Up to 4 simultaneous users (expandable on request)
  • Offline license key available upon request

USB Deployment

Shareable portable license

  • Deploy to a USB flash drive
  • Share among unlimited users & computers
  • One active instance at a time
  • USB must remain plugged in during use
  • Cannot be used on Windows Server

Virtual Machine Licensing

Custom deployment for advanced concurrent-user requirements

  • Available for organizations needing higher concurrent user counts
  • Pricing based on number of servers and simultaneous users
  • Uses offline license key for air-gapped environments
  • Contact sales for custom VM licensing quote

The Bottom Line

“Unlimited users” means unlimited organizational flexibility—any authorized staff member can use Aid4Mail Enterprise, but access follows a sequential model (similar to lending a book). This licensing approach dramatically reduces costs for teams while ensuring everyone has access to Aid4Mail’s full capabilities when needed.

  • Can’t process enterprise archives

One Enterprise License

  • Fixed cost regardless of team size
  • Single license to manage
  • Full CLI automation included

  • Native Mimecast/Proofpoint support
