Hi,
I have a 15-user perpetual starter license.

Reading the differences beteween editions on Zimbra - Compare Products I noticed that one option for the starter edition has disappeared, 'Windows Mobile and other smartphone Contact, Calendar, Task sync' is no longer checked.

Compare to the version of may 2011 on web.archive.org:

http://web.archive.org/web/20110523111654/Zimbra - Compare Products - the option is checked.
What does that mean?

If I upgrade to Zimbra NE 8, will I loose Contact, Calendar and Task sync for my mobile devices? It is working now in my Zimbra NE 7 server.
Sietse

Hi,
All Standard Licenses bought after March 2012 does not include ActiveSync anymore, see http://www.zimbra.com/forums/mobility/57484-zcs-8-mobile-licensing-change.html. They have done the change silently without a notice to there customers ...

All Standard Licenses bought before March 2012 will still have ActiveSync included. So I think that your licenses are still include ActiveSync after upgrading to 8. But ask your sales contact to confirm that, they have a very very short response time ...
