For MangoLassi.it Forum Geeks: StarWind Virtual SAN NFR (not-for-resale) License!

Both of you re-read my post, lol. I am running this on a Microsoft SQL Server. I prefer to run Microsoft SQL Server using Windows Failover Clustering.

:trollface:

Ah that helps. Thanks!

scottalanmiller

OH!! It is MS SQL Server. Writing it as MS-SQL made my eyes think that it was MySQL.

dafyre

lol. Nope... MySQL is always MySQL. I've run that on a Windows Failover Cluster too... just not right now.

I am currently using Starwind in my Lab to provide shared storage for my MS-SQL Server Failover cluster. It works great!

Why are you not using application layer failover for your database?

Because that would require two SQL licenses (but that may actually be required anyway).

That link goes to an Office 365 login page. I don't use Office 365. Got a login we can use to get to the form?

I was assuming MySQL when I said that which has free Galera application level failover.

scottalanmiller

Took me to O365 too.

Dashrender

The form is probably not marked as publicly accessible.

@StarWind_Software

Awesome! Thanks for extending this to ML users.

Now to find a lab to set this up in.

Hey guys, just to make sure you have the right link to follow and claim your NFR license https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-for-mangolassi-members

Please feel free to share it!

Thanks!

That one works!

So if a company created an account here on ML, and had 200 points or higher of reputation.

Then the license would belong to the company.

Am I understanding your intentions correctly.

Otherwise if an employee leaves the company, they have to take their license with them.

Or are businesses strictly barred from claiming this?

scottalanmiller

@ntg has an account

scottalanmiller

So does @Bundy-Associates

Their reputation is to low to qualify.

Sorry

Dashrender

LOL

I registered.

RojoLoco

@StarWind_Software why does the email you just sent me have a big string of Cyrillic characters in the subject line???? Trapped in the spam filter it got, and trapped there it shall stay. Wanna try again, maybe with one for N America region?

Dashrender

Aren't they from Norway? or is is Sweden?
