Xlight FTP server has three editions: personal, standard, and professional editions.
The personal edition is free for personal use only. During the 30-day evaluation period, the trial program will work as a professional edition. After the evaluation period, it will become a personal edition automatically, if not registered.
The standard edition is limited to 50 online users with SSL, Anti Leech Protection and UNC Path Impersonation support. But it doesn't support ODBC, LDAP, Active Directory, email Notification and Remote Administration functions. The price for the standard edition is only $39.95.
The professional edition has no online users limitation and supports all functions. The price for the professional edition is $129.95.
Note: For standard and professional editions, one license can be used on only one computer at any one time, unless multiple user licenses have been purchased in which case the software may be used on any number of computers, up to the number of purchased licenses.
