I think that we are going to move from the free version to the enterprise one now that it is free for so many nodes.
Huh? That sounds backwards based on the last part.

Not sure that I follow. Because the number of free nodes is now so high, we can leverage the full enterprise version at the same cost as the free version.

@scott, did the 'old' free version not have the same tools as Enterprise did? But now the Free version is the same version as the Enterprise, it's just free for nodes less than 25?

Correct, free used to be a small subset of the tools. Like no real interface and not multi-tenant.

It is the enterprise / premium features that are limited to 25 nodes (on the honor system.) The base server is completely open source and unlimited.
