Seems that DSM 6 is just a cash cow for Synology as many improvements requires a license, for the hardware you already thought you own. Virtual DSM Manager. One Virtual DSM instance will be free for each Synology NAS, and additional licenses will be required upon official release. Docker DSM. One free Docker DSM instance will be free for each Synology NAS, and additional licenses will be required in the official release. Cara men download gta san andreas tamat pc. MailPlus Server.
MailPlus Server will include 5 free mail accounts by default, and licenses will be required for additional mail accounts. Surveillance Station. Please note that Surveillance Station running on Virtual DSM or Docker DSM does not include any default surveillance device licenses. These features don't exist in DSM so you're actually not paying for them right now. Mail Server will continue to be free. Surveillance Station already costs money beyond the 2 free licenses.
Synology doesn't expect home users to use MailPlus, vDSM, or dDSM, so these are license fees intended for businesses. For vDSM and dDSM in particular these are for multi-tenancy solutions using less hardware than it would typically require so they're definitely aimed at MSPs who can reduce their hardware costs by paying for licenses. One could argue that Mail Plus would quickly find a way to a home user, and especially for families or living communities 5 is quite restrictive. Perks are definitely those security aspects, and in times of locky this is a huge pro as for vDSM and dDSM i find it hard to to come up with any argument.
And especially with little perks like let's-encrypt there are a lot of additions home-users benefit from, which makes up really well to not being able to use everything completely free of additional charge. SynoDK, I am a developer and a security and privacy concerned one.
So my use case is that I don't just want to espose my Synology to the internet. This way I can box my services that I run on it into a Docker container so that expose them sandboxed by creating port redirections from my firewall/router. This is probable on the same level as asking why would you need php or mysql at home?!?
With all the constant security vulnerabilities (and who can keep up with all of them?!?) this way one can secure one's data. So please ask again whether synology should consider security only important to businesses. Honestly, licenses for Docker are a rip-off.
All the docker core is being developed somewhere else for free (or are you paying any sorts of license fees to docker.com)? So charging (hefty!) license fees for a pretty gui wrapper is mildly put, bold. Your arguments are crap. Which 'common home user' uses a WebDAV Server, Directory Server (LDAP), SSO Server, HiDrive Backup, Glacier Backup, DNS Server, Git Server. Please stop me when you had enough.
Again, Docker currently the big thing so a good point to milk the users some more. Why not make the free for personal use and have a separate 'for commerical use'?! Docker DSM refers to running virtualized instances of DSM. You do this within Docker.
In other words it's a DSM container. For Docker That's what Synology themselves has developed and charges licenses for. You're free to install Docker on the NAS and do what you want with it beyond that.
However your 'argument' of not being of interest to the common home user is still lame as a common home user would simply use an external disk and not a NAS. The home NAS market is much more than just power users like power users seem to think it is. You're the loudest group.
Not the biggest. DSM 6 is just a cash cow for Synology as many improvements requires a license, for the hardware you already thought you own. You own the hardware, not the software and the improvements are made upon the software/firmware updates. To counter the 'cash cow' mis-guidance you've caused.The software and security updates have always and still are completely free, as well as being regular, along with over 30 packages, mobile applications, and now Windows 10 desktop applications. Oh and the free support service. Surveillance Station has always utilised licenses with 2 included free per DiskStation. Virtual/Docker DSM wouldn't include these otherwise you could run multiple instances to utilise lots of free licenses.
At the end of the day, you are still getting all the applications for free including limited free licenses. They are just licensing the 'enterprise' market which every other vendor already does and if this allows for improved applications, support or hardware design further down the line then it's a good move. If it really was enterprise market then us consumers wouldn't be complaining. Somehow, I don't believe you. I think 'us consumers' is referring to just you. Almost all of the packages you've mentioned in your post are aimed at SMEs or Enterprise, not consumers but if consumers which to use those packages then they can, free of charge. A typical consumer would not need 5+ e-mail addresses, multiple vDSM instances running virtual surveillance stations.
Synology Surveillance Station License Hack
However, I feel my time discussing this with you is being wasted so instead I will simply refer you to this.
If I already own a synology NAS or buy a cheap second hand one could I use its SN and MAC on my xpenology build to install a legitimately purchased license? Sure, you can, but first read license agrements. IMO, since license is given to a particual hardware, which is identified by pair of serial with mac, by using serial and mac on xpenology and using survillance licence you will violate license agrements. But it is just my opinion and you can ask synology support about that. Let say synology will find a way to identify that you have installed extra license on xpenology, and will revoke all extra licenses with no refund? What will you do?

You're already violating ToS by using XPEnology, so.
Thanks, I was under the impression that xpenology was leveraging open source software (or at least not completely proprietary) and not an infringement of Synology license. Is that not so? That's why I was curious about the surveillance package as it is quite clearly an 'add-on' synology sell and should be compensated for. Yes, the Xpenology is really only the Linux kernel with some mechanisms in-place to combat the checks done by the Synology OS, extra drivers and it emulates the device that has serial number. But the real problem starts when you download the PAT file and use the proprietary parts of the Synology OS on the box that wasn't licensed for it. Technically, in some countries its illegal to bypath the mechanisms that prevent you from running on a non-licensed hardware, so the bootloader would also be illegal.

Synology's DSM is Linux, with their own proprietary additions (funny thing, they do break GPL with their synobios kernel module!), including the app system, volume system, and the web UI. What we do is take this specifically licensed product (because this together is a product), break that license and ToS, and install it on our hardware.
Then we circumvent the protection employed by Synology to make it work (and also we add some extra stuff (kernel drivers for support, mostly). So yes, we are infringing the license of DSM, because it says it can only be used on Synology hardware (hardware it is sold on). Coming back to the initial question with some answers and no solution I have bought a licence for the 3-rd cam which worked well on DS112 box. The same licence worked also on baremetal Xpenology 6.02.
Now I have gone over to ESXi based environment and the licence does not activate anymore, giving the 'connection failed' error I have tried SN and MAC pair generated by the excel file available in the net. I have also tried the original MAC and SN from the DS112, with still the connection failed message at activation the licence. Might be that there are some detection mechanisms for non genuine HW.
I also tried to fall back to the oldest possible surveillance station with no success. My workaround: I am running separate Xpenology instance on ESXi for every pair of cameras. Not very convenient as they have separate timelines. Still looking for a more permanent solution, and I'm ready to buy more licences if I get it working.

Still looking for a more permanent solution, and I'm ready to buy more licences if I get it working. The reason it no longer works is because Synology have changed their T&C's around moving licences, even on genuine hardware.
