New community edition (Release 2024)

For everybody wondering why I am so interested in the open release. I have a few instances that are too small for subscription but Release 2024 doesn´t fit either.

I of course contacted Aras as recommended above. Since 5 months (!) people try to find a solution, but there is some kind of gray area where they don´t have a suitable offering. Aras hasn't found a solution yet, but they definitely admire the problem. As I said before, I still expect a few changes in the overall open release concept, so I am not too worried.

But the whole situation is really funny. I am one of the most contributing members in this community - and as a token of appreciation, Aras accidentally locked me out of the software.  (at least partially, don't worry, I'm still fine).

Is anyone else affected in a similar way or is it just me that faces this unexpected edge case?
