are there usage limits on webinator?

[Thunderstone]

Does anyone know if there are usage limits on webinator, both the free and
pay versions? By this I mean if one installs the Free version is it limited
by the number of user queries it can answer over a time period? How about
the commercial version?

Are there any other limits to the free version besides the 10,000 page
limit size? What about limits on size of the database itself?

What are the largest number of searches per day that someone is using free
and commercial webinator for?

Thanks for the info.

There are no limits on concurrent users in either the free or commercial
version. The free version is limited to 10,000 pages of content, there
is no such limit in the commercial version.


It must check the license server on every invocation of the indexing part
of the program. The user interface checks once a day. This means the
free version must be connected to the 'net. (Commercial doesn't)

The biggest limit on the commercial version is the license agreement.
It restricts the usage of the Commercial Webinator to non-global type
activities. For anything like a global index or a big database you
have to have a full license to the Texis RDBMS.


Novell probably gets the most queries per day on average, although we don't
know the load. The Webinator based web index that we provide over here
performs about 200,000 searches on an average day.

The single highest hit Thunderstone based site is ZDNET's www.hotfiles.com at
around 1.5 million hits a day (It's not the Webinator, but its the same
technology).
