As we are coming to the end of Oempro4 development, we are also deciding the editions of Oempro4. Based on our 9 years of email marketing experience and feedbacks received from thousands of Octeth customers, we shaped Oempro4 editions in following plans:
- Individiual Edition
- Marketer / ESP Edition
Let me explain each edition briefly below:
Individual License
This edition targets individuals and small businesses who are willing to run their own email campaigns. This license will include a single user pack. Additional user packs can be added. The price of this edition will be highly affordable and include all professional features that an individual or a small business will need.
Marketer / ESP License
This edition targets professional email marketers and email service providers (ESP). This edition includes all functionality of Individual License plus more for running professional email campaigns, tracking results, managing spam complaints, etc. This license will include multiple user accounts. Additional user packs can be added. With this edition, a company can build and run a professional email marketing service just like Sendloop.com, ConstantContact.com or Aweber.com easily.
The feature sets of both editions will be announced later on. We will be including all features required to run a professional email campaign in both editions targeting all user segments.
Source Code
Source code of both Oempro4 editions will be 99% open source. We will be encrypting only the core module which will include the license validation algorithms. Therefore, Oempro4 will require Ioncube or Zend to run Oempro4 — usually, one or both of them available in today’s servers as a default application. We are sorry to add another requirement for Oempro4 but in order to save and protect our efforts and fight against piracy, we need to take such a precaution. This will not affect any customizations made to the source code because Oempro4 will be 99% open source. You can still customize the source code to integrate into your projects and systems.

What’s the inauguration’s date?
Will Oempro4 send with multiple SMTP?
We are looking forward to becoming on one of you many customers – just a matter of time.
Here is some insight for you — might be a good idea to add this module into your solution:

Hi – What about current License holders what will you do with them, I use OEMPRO for Marketer / ESP reasons.
Is there no alternative to Zend / Ioncube? Both degrade the performance of webservers (Ioncube especially).
Hi Guys,
My answers:
@Parag: Pricing is going to change also. It will be based on users and editions. We will announce the pricing in following weeks.
@Lotus Miranda: We will announce the revised release date in following weeks. Beta testing is about to being. Oempro4 will be able to send through multiple SMTP addresses.
@Anowar Shahjahan: Thanks Anowar. We will absolutely examine the service you have suggested.
@Webace: We will offer flexible and highly affordable upgrade plans. If you have an active upgrade service subscription, you will be able to upgrade without any extra fee.
@Joe: Zend/Ioncube encoding will not decrease the performance in Oempro4 because we are not going to encode all source code of Oempro4. Only license validation module will be encoded. Therefore, there will be no performance decrease. Oempro4 source code will be open-source for the maximum customization opportunity just like in Oempro3.
RE: Encoding
So encoded files wouldn’t be called on every script execution? (instead on installation only?)
Hi,
We are currently using version 3x for our clients. We will soon be adding a new client/account. I would like to add the new account when Version 4 is out. Will Version 4 be available to the public by September?
@Binu, well, I can not give you an exact date but it’s almost completed. We will be updating the community about estimated release date in a few weeks. Thanks.
Will OEMPro 4 have autoresponders?
Absolutely! ;)
Cem,
Good to see that you are still doing an ecxcellent job. As a registered beta tester I cannot wait to get my hands on version 4. Have a few questions:
1) Will version 4 be available to beta testers by September (have a client that I want to pilot)?
2) Will there be an upgrade path from version 3.x?
Keep up the good work mate!

Hi Roy,

1) Yes, we are planning to open beta testing in September (finally!)
2) Absolutely! Oempro4 users will be able to upgrade without any hassle.
Cheers.
