Client Licensing
GroupWise offers two types of mailbox licenses: full client mailbox licenses and limited client
mailbox licenses.
A full client mailbox license has no mailbox access restrictions; the mailbox can be accessed by any
GroupWise client (Windows or WebAccess) as well as any third-party plug-in or POP/IMAP client.
A limited client mailbox license restricts mailbox access to the following:
The GroupWise WebAccess client (including wireless devices)
A GroupWise client (Windows or WebAccess) via the Proxy feature
A GroupWise client (Windows or WebAccess) via the Busy Search feature
A POP or IMAP client
A limited client license mailbox does not allow access through the GroupWise client for Windows
(other than via Proxy or Busy Search).
You can use this option to specify the type of client license that you want applied to users'
mailboxes. This enables you to support the type of GroupWise mailbox licenses you purchase. For
example, if you only purchased limited client license mailboxes for users on a specific post office,
you can mark all mailboxes on that post office as being limited client license mailboxes.
For information about generating an audit report that shows the type of license applied to each
mailbox in a post office, see
page 201.
Client Login Mode
Choose from the following settings to determine which login modes are available to GroupWise
users when using the GroupWise client for Windows. These settings apply only if you selected Full
License Mailboxes for the client licensing.
Allow Use of Remote Mode: Select this option to enable users to log in with GroupWise in
Remote mode. With Remote mode, the GroupWise client uses a Remote mailbox on the user's
local drive. The user must initiate a connection (modem, direct, or TCP/IP) to send or retrieve
items from the GroupWise system. For more information about Remote mode, see
Section 68.1.3, "Remote Mode," on page
NOTE: Remote Mode is not available in the Linux/Mac client.
Allow Use of Caching Mode: Select this option to enable users to log in with GroupWise in
Caching mode. With Caching mode, the GroupWise client uses a Caching mailbox on the
user's local drive (this can be the same mailbox as the Remote mailbox). The GroupWise client
periodically initiates a connection with the GroupWise system to send and receive items. For
more information about Caching mode, see
default, this option is enabled.
Select the Force Caching Mode option (available only if the Allow Use of Caching Mode
option is enabled) to force users to run in Caching mode. By default, this option is disabled.
Specify the number of days before Caching mode is enforced. This allows the user to continue
using Online mode until the grace period has passed. The grace period begins the first time the
user connects to the POA. The setting applies per user per workstation.
