I seriously doubt that Enterprise Version is going to be free.  You can download it and run it for a limited time as a trial.  The enterprise version is how Jive can afford to pay their employees and release other products.

OK.....and Wow.  There is little room for error in the interpretation of that message.  I would like to here an answer on that as well then.

Do you pay for some product from Jive?  I mean I have heard nothing like this until your posting.  If turns out to be true I feel so shunned.

I just conversed with our Jive accout rep., and she said that she doesn't know the actual date yet, but it's happening soon. The timing of this thread is funny, because the topic of Openfire Enterprise license renewal came up in a meeting I was in earlier today. 

Our account rep. said clustering is the only catch - they pay a royalty for clustering support... so that gets a little tricky - she doesn't know all the details there yet but they will let us know when they're ironed out. We currently pay for clustering support, which is charged in addition to the Enterprise license and is per node, not per user.

I am quite sure Openfire development will continue as usual at least for current and prospective OEM license clients/users and more importantly to keep it being the XMPP/Jabber server of choice. I hope they make the new v3.5 installer and source available for download very soon so we can delve in and start toying around with them. I assume all the plugins will now be part of Openfire Opensource since it is going opensource in its entirety no holds barred, at least that is what is implied on the announcement "The Openfire Enterprise commercial product has been discontinued and much of the technology is now part of the Openfire Open Source project."

It tell me the same thing, I guess no one is authorized.

Now I see that Enterprise is essentially being intergrated with the free Openfire, but does that mean there will be no more development on the project in general? My company is thinking about picking up this service and we don't want to be left behind if Jive is deciding to just ditch support.

I am unable to Upload free Enterprise jar file to my OpenFire Server.......whenever I upload it I found an error on error.log file..Like this
