Hi,
I've been using ASG 7.402 on a Rel 1 ASG 110 with a home-use 10-IP license for several months. The unit was originally on ASL 6.x prior to the upgrade, until a BB member suggested I apply 7.x by simply installing the Software Appliance on the ASG. This worked great, but unfortunately the ASG unit I had bought (used from eBay) could not be upgraded to 1GB RAM, so space was a little tight. I bought another used 110, this time ensuring it was Rel 3 hardware and therefore memory upgradable. I successfully upgraded the RAM, and was looking forward to swapping this more powerful unit out for my original.
On running the 7.402 install (or the 7.450 beta) for the Software Appliance as I had done on my old unit, I got a "Non-ASG install on ASG hardware" message, and was not able to continue. I would try the SSI install, but I don't think a home license works with hardware appliances. What puzzles me is that the Software Appliance install worked fine on the Rel 1 ASG 110 hardware, but fails with this message on a Rel 3 ASG 110. I don't quite understand why I'm not allowed to install the Software Appliance in this way. I'd much rather be running it on Astaro hardware, because it's small, wall-mountable, and robust. I guess I could buy a PC instead and run it on there, but I opted for Astaro hardware because of the build quality, form factor, wall mount, and minimalism (i.e. no mouse, extra hardware irrelevant for a gateway, etc.).
Anyone know why it's considered a no-no to run the ASG Software Appliance with a home license on ASG hardware, but OK to run the same thing on a PC? If this is simply not allowed, then I'll be waving a sad farewell to my ASG hardware and running it on a PC instead. It would be really nice if the home license also applied to the hardware appliances, as I'd keep buying and upgrading them if so.
Any insight much appreciated - thanks.
MarCow.
