Let's try an example...
Let's say I have a few hundred clients, each with their own domain and 100-200 email accounts each.
Each customer has mixed accounts, some with MAPI active, some with EAS active, some with both, and some with nothing.
At a certain point I realize that the EAS licenses I have are used up even if from the accounting of paying users I should actually still have some free ones (I can see this from SETTINGS --> LICENSING by comparing it with my accounting of paying users).
In the old version of SmarterMail:
1 - I go to MANAGE --> DOMAIN
2 - scroll through the list of domains checking how many licenses are assigned to each one
3 - I open the domain that has more EAS licenses assigned than the paid ones
4 - I check the list of users and remove the EAS licenses from users who must NOT have them in that domain.
5 - I correct the maximum number of EAS licenses assigned to the domain and save
6 - double-check the total EAS license of the modified domain to be sure. If there is still an error go back to step 3
7 - I continue to browse the list of domains to see if others have anomalies
all without moving from MANAGE --> DOMAIN
In the new version of SmarterMail:
1 - I go to MANAGE --> DOMAIN
2 - scroll through the list of domains checking how many licenses are assigned to each one
3 - I find the domain that has more EAS licenses assigned than paid ones
4 - I move to MANAGE --> USER CONNECTIONS
5 - I click on the EAS column
6 - in the "search" box I insert the name of the domain that interests me in order to see only the users of that domain.
7 - I check the list of found users and remove the EAS licenses from users who must NOT have them in that domain.
8 - I go back to MANAGE --> DOMAIN to check that now the total number of users with active EAS of that domain is correct
9 - I open the domain, correct the maximum number of EAS licenses assigned and save
10 - I check the domain again to be sure, hoping that everything is OK, otherwise I have to go back to point 4
11 - I continue to browse the list of domains to see if others have anomalies
If I'm not wrong, the new version forces me to go back and forth between various places in the interface and also to do more click and operations to check and fix everything
By doing more passes, you waste more time and have a greater chance of generating errors.
