5. If you entered the license key correctly, GFI MailArchiver displays the following information: The License Status, the number of Licensed Users, the count of Mail Enabled Users, and for how long GFI MailArchiver has been running next to the Statistics label. If the license key specified is invalid, GFI MailArchiver will display Invalid license key in red next to the License Key box. If you entered a valid license key, click Save Settings.

NOTE 1: The license key you bought is licensed for a number of users as shown next to the Licensed Users label. The number of Mail Enabled Users must always be smaller than or equal to the number of Licensed Users the license supports. If not, GFI MailArchiver will continue to work for 15 more days until you buy a new license key, and then expire if a new license key is not specified.

NOTE 2: GFI MailArchiver counts the number of mail enabled users differently, depending on the exclusion settings configured in the Archiving and User Exclude Options node. The following points describe how GFI MailArchiver counts mail enabled users in the three possible scenarios of: archiving emails for all users, archiving emails for all users except for the users specified and archiving emails only for the users specified. For the examples, we will consider an Active Directory (AD) made up of 40 objects, 12 of which are mail-enabled users.

Archiving emails for all users - GFI MailArchiver counts all the mail enabled user accounts. It does not count other objects such as groups or machines. GFI MailArchiver will thus display 12 near the Mail Enabled Users label.
Archiving emails for all users except for the users specified - GFI MailArchiver counts all mail enabled user accounts and subtracts the count of AD user accounts (not email addresses) specified in the list. Therefore, if you specified three AD user accounts and one email address for exclusion from archiving, GFI MailArchiver will display 9, near the Mail Enabled Users label.
Archiving emails only for the users specified - GFI MailArchiver counts the AD user accounts (not email addresses) specified for inclusion in archiving. Therefore, if you specified three AD users for inclusion in archiving, GFI MailArchiver will display 3, near the Mail Enabled Users label. Please note that if you specify even one email address for inclusion in archiving, GFI MailArchiver will count all AD mail enabled user accounts and thus will display 12 near the Mail Enabled Users label.
