  1. Admittedly, after the multi-page debate on this problem, I also would now expect a official statement from Resilio how to deal with this problem in a final and fair manner. There should be an official regulation. Only talk about doesn't help anything if Resilio doesn't make any commitments. If I were a user of Windows Server and my licenses suddenly stopped working, I would also be angry.

  2. The one who can read has the advantage. Scolding doesn't help!

    On my side on different servers and clients is running smoothly. Get in touch with support and with your concerns. It is not normal that Windows Server is used in private households, a mainframe also might not be assumed privately. But as you can read in detail now, you are not alone with privat Windows Server problem.

  3. @Helen, thanks, is not for me, because I doesnt use Window Server, I have different Synology NAS, Windows computers and Smartphones and with my licenses all is running well, also Android APP in this moment, was not so good in the past.

    Its only regarding the privat people are using Windows Server and have no solution for now.

  4. License terms can be changed, but should apply to all new customers from the time of the change. If the installations and licenses were running on Windows Server before v2.7.0, it should do it again now, that's my opinion. Formally, it would probably be relatively easy to regulate over the used license. Otherwise, I wouldn't really know how the provision for Windows Server could be regulated precisely. There are also the guidelines

    https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205450995-Student-and-Nonprofit-licensing

    over which exceptions could possibly be set up via the support. Any license that is purchased can also be verified. A company never buys software or licenses as a private person. Such an institution is usually already recognizable by name, e.g. the legal form, name extension, etc.

    The fact that private persons run a Windows Server surely is shot at sparrows by cannons, there are different reasons for doing so - see all the posts. Windows Server is a professional tool in company environments and is also very widespread there. I can understand that the license regulation may look different, as for NAS, which are used more privately or agencies or small businesses.

    Maybe an exception can be granted to those with Window Server who already have a license, can contact here or contact the support and can prove that they are private persons or that their establishment has a private character.

    "Resilio Sync Home for Windows Server", maybe 2.6.5

    I can understand this idea, maybe is good. However, everyone should be aware that this is a temporary idea. Because Windows Server is also making progress and if a v2.6.5 is running reliably today, this version will also need updates for the adjustment at some point. It must be clear that this would no longer be possible and you are faced with the same situation again.

    The question in the round would be what the readiness would then look like.

  6. Syncthing has the options

    Coincidence,
    Alphabetical,
    smallest first,
    biggest first,
    oldest first,
    newest first,

    The question is, however, in which cases this options makes sense, since the synchronization with Resilio is usually very fast and also faster compared to Syncthing. Whereby Synchting is also not slow either.

  7. From my Synology glasses I would say "root", but I don't think anyone can finally clarify that here. Perhaps this can be better clarified in the Netgear forum.

    If I have authorization problems, I reset all ACLs in the concerned directory via the console to root:root, octal 0777 and overwrite them again on the NAS with the NAS ACLs and inherit them into the subfolders. So far, this has eliminated all problems.

    But I have Synology Servers and I don't know if that work for your Netgears.

  8. Same on my side. I have both, PRO and FAMILY licenses and all my Devices, Windows 10 and different Synology Servers are updated to v2.7.0 und running perfectly. Only Android APP is v2.6.3 and I hope in the near future we get a update to v2.7.0.

    I also think that in a small environment or in small companies no Windows Server with domain controller is required, the "normal" Windows sharing functionality is basically sufficient and "you can get most of WS' non-domain functionality out of Pro, Pro for Workstations, or Enterprise".

    At some point, of course, the question arises whether the effort to maintain user profiles is easier with domain controllers because the number of clients etc. is higher or high. Or you want it as a "hobby" because it's nice to have it, maybe even as an individual or one person. In this respect, I agree that other people do not know how it behaves, it is assumed that who runs Windows Server, has an administration behind it and can afford corresponding software licenses. I think that's okay too.

    I think the above affected should describe their environment in order to be able to make better judgments.

  9. My request is to have more flexible IgnoreList features

    (?d) The file can be deleted if preventing directory removal
    (?i) Matching without case sensitivity

    so I can use e.g.

    (?d)(?i)Thumbs.db
    (?d)(?i).thumbnails
    (?d)(?i)ehthumbs.db
    (?d)(?i)desktop.ini
    (?d)sync.ffs_db
    (?d)sync.ffs_lock
