These components are developed in a co-funding project which means that until the complete development costs are payed by co-funders, they are only allowed to use by the co-funders or for evaluation purposes. If we have earned the development cost we will give these modules for everybody for free. To control the use of these components until they are free there is a activation file /etc/opsi/modules, which is protected against changes via electronic signature. If this activation file doesn't exist, only the free parts of opsi will work. If you need for evaluation a temporary valid activation file please contact info@uib.de. If you become a co-funder, you will get a unlimited activation file.
