    As I read it the free version will monitor the first 3 calls but nothing after that? However on the 4th call it says license violation and then shuts down…. what is the correct behavior I should be seeing?

    The Free Edition of SecAst will monitor systems with up to, and including, 3 simultaneous calls. The Free Edition is not designed to handle larger systems (and that’s also what causes the license violation & shutdown). For larger systems you would have to upgrade to the Flex Edition, or Unlimited Edition.

    If you look at the Editions tab of the SecAst web page, you will see the differences in limitations. As well the notes on the right explain further.

    We remove features and capacity from the lower editions (including Free Edition) to create lower price points.

    Trying to use the free version to test to see if it works the way it needs to and the idea that it would monitor the first 3 calls then stop was fine, but the fact it shuts down and shuts down Asterisk when it does go over makes it impossible to test. Kinda hard to fork out thousands of dollars for something that the trial version doesn’t really allow you to test in a real situation. Have you thought about offering it on a monthly subscription plan that would include the maintenance?

    The Free Edition is more for testing compatibility and basic functionality. It’s also (surprisingly) popular with small office / home office installations. It’s not meant to be a platform for capacity testing / full load testing.

    We do offer a full-featured trial (Commercial Unlimited edition) for larger installations, see our FAQ at https://telium.io/faq1001 for more details.

    UPDATE: As of August 2020 we now off subscriptions (monthly or annual) which might need your needs. It can be cheaper if you just want a quick trial but don’t plan to buy. (If you plan to buy then the trial edition may be cheaper)

    If you want to contact sales@telium.io they can help you get started with a full-featured trial.
