Hi mansoft,

I'm guessing that everyone here is keeping silent because answers regarding licensing should come directly from someone at WEBCON. So a direct communication would be better than using the community. At least this is what I would do. Even if I would receive an answer from someone here, I wouldn't rely on it. I can neither hold him responsible nor would it be a good argument why (unintentionally) violated the license.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi mansoft,

ok in this case I will provide my opinion:

1. Maximum database size
I haven't tested this with Express within a paid version you can add/remove content databases via setup.exe "Tools for application management" so there is no need to uninstall WEBCON BPS. You may need to clear the search index, but I don't think this would violate the license. But maybe the EULA will be changed in the future to prohibit such a behavior. :)

2. Deleting data
As far as I'm concerned modifying data directly via t-sql, is a no go. This leaves us with actions like SDK, not sure whether you can delete a workflow instance, or the action "Archive workflow instances" which can also delete instances from the database. If they are available it's supported. I think the action is not available in the express edition, but I'm not sure. I'm using the later for the same use case you have described, but again in a paid version.

3. WEBCON BPS as a "Task scheduler"
I don't think that's a problem. The guys from Encorsa used WEBCON BPS in a similar way. It's part of a larger solution including a chat bot which talks to the end users and to WEBCON BPS.


Best regards,
Daniel
