As far as receiving access, the first wave of invites is going out today. We are taking this approach to test our infrastructure scalability and stability. All the features of HexOS itself will be available with the lifetime license. You are not buying a license solely to the beta. And any features we add to HexOS in the future (that do not have a metered cost like cloud backups) you will get as well.

The selection process for invites is primarily based on order of those who have purchased. And yes, if you were customer #5, you will get access first. Can't get into details right now of how the waves are being structured.

While we slate the fix to the dark mode toggle, I've made dark mode the new default. What do you guys think? Keep this default or do you want the light theme as default?

Good find! Thank you! We will disable/fix.

This issue has been resolved and all mail that was queued has been sent. Thank you!

As you may have seen on the announcement bar, our mail provider hit a limit and we are working to get it expanded ASAP. Really sorry about this everyone!! Team is already pressing to get this resolved.

ZFS all the way

Correct. Lifetime licenses mean lifetime. There are certain features that come at an increased cost to deliver on a recurring basis such as premium support services, cloud backup, or other similar services. Those would be sold a la carte. In the future, we will offer a subscription for HexOS itself which will be at a lower price point. Lifetime licenses will always be available.

Raidz expansion is the feature to search about. It's really amazing!!

Due to an issue with our send mail provider, we blew way past our hourly sendmail limit and so messages are being queued. We have requested a limit increase and will report back once this issue is fully resolved. Your purchases and registrations are going through, and you will receive your confirmations eventually. Our apologies for this and we will get it resolved as quickly as possible.

Actually.... You can add one drive at a time to expand! They have to be the same size as the drives you already have in a pool, but you can expand like that.

Hah! Hopefully a 50-series GPU from NVIDIA!

Yes, this is confirmed. Its why we went through such pains to make a responsive design for the UI/UX 😉

Lifetime licenses are issued per server. You can "disconnect" a server from HexOS and free up that license for use on another. If you want two systems for remote backup, you would need two licenses.

Thanks. Invision was chosen simply because its a platform we were already familiar with from our previous endeavors. I do like discourse a lot and given some of the other changes Invision has been making, we may consider switching at some point.

Someone copy and pasted from an AI ;-). UPS support is definitely something we want to do, but will likely come after the 1.0 release.

You should receive both a receipt and an early access program details email. Let us know if you don't receive them within the next hour. The servers are getting hit hard right now, so some message sending may be delayed.

Licenses are NOT tied to your physical hardware. Just migrate your storage devices to new electronics and get going. Great question though and will probably add it to the FAQ.

Some users are reporting that attempting to toggle dark mode isn't working for them. If you're using the controls in the top right of the forums, try using the theme switcher in the bottom left. We will address this in an update in the future.
