Quickly after the first version, we released a new version that features extended compatibility. We got many requests from customers complaining that they run Plesk 8.6 and they are not able to use 4PSA OXtender. Starting with version 1.0.1, you can use OXtender with any Plesk version higher or equal to 8.3.0. We also fixed some minor bugs and introduced new functionality, maybe the most important being that the new version can work with email passwords that are encrypted in the Plesk database (it requires IMAP auth module on the Open-Xchange server).
From the licensing perspective, there are some news also. As you probably know, 4PSA OXtender included Open-Xchange seat licenses embedded in order to simplify the entire process. While the pricing is efficient, it might be too expensive to start when dealing with an infrastructure that has many Plesk servers. Due to this reason, we introduced a simple licensing, called OX server centric licensing where you pay on the Open-Xchange server level for the seats you use and a smaller price for the 4PSA OXtender. This was you can still enjoy the superior provisioning and management capabilities while keeping the costs low.
