Question about upgrade to v11

1

Hello!

I have a question about: Mattermost v11 Changes in Free Offerings

I administrate a Mattermost server using the docker container mattermost/mattermost-enterprise-edition and we are using this as the “free edition” so without importing a license. I created a local instance of Mattermost using the mattermost/mattermost-enterprise-edition:11.0.2 and found that the new user limit of 250 was not enforced. Using the mattermost/mattermost-preview:11.0.2 image in comparison I did encounter the ERROR_SAFETY_LIMITS_EXCEEDED error ( Mattermost error codes - Mattermost documentation ) after creating 250 users, and I was unable to create any more.

Would the changes to Mattermost Entry and Mattermost Team Edition effect those who are using `mattermost/mattermost-enterprise-edition` docker container in the “Free Edition” for v11?

These changes DO NOT affect the Mattermost open source project, which remains under the same AGPLv3 license it has used since 2015. Community members can continue to compile, use, and contribute to the project as always.

What would the options be for users who wanted to use the open source project instead? Would they build the docker containers themselves from source, and will the open source project continue to get security patches at a regular interval?

We love Mattermost and are concerned that we will not be able to use it as our organization continues to grow above 250 users.

Thank you!

Another clarification question related to “https://forum.mattermost.com/t/mattermost-v11-changes-in-free-offerings/25126”

First: is Mattermost Entry (Free, Commercial License) what you get if you use the mattermost/mattermost-enterprise-edition:11.0.2 image but without paying for a license?

Second, can you please clarify this wording?

New default free edition for small teams (25–50) and evaluation of subscription products.

I noticed this language is different from the language in the following section about team edition which state the user limit was changed from 1,000 to 250. Will the new “free edition” / “entry” have a user limit? Is this small team size of 25-50 a recommendation or enforced as a user limit? From my testing it seems to be that there is not a user limit in this free mode, but I would like clarification if that behavior will remain and we can rely on it.

Thank you!
