Creating an EL mailarchive instance in the Control Panel

A new EL MailArchive instance is always created via the end customer detail view in the Control Panel


You must therefore first create the customer or select an existing one.

After selecting a customer in the first step, you can define the sales price. The sales price specifies the license fee per user archive. This can also be changed at any time afterward.


You can then create the new hosted instance by clicking “CREATE EL MAILARCHIVE INSTANCE.”



When creating an EL mailarchive instance, the following form is displayed for the partner:


Alias: The internal name of the instance for easier navigation within the list of existing instances

Send login credentials via email: If this feature is enabled, the instance’s login credentials will also be sent to the specified email address.

Country: The country where the instance is hosted.


When you click the “Create” button, the instance is generated as specified and starts immediately. Once the process is complete, the instance’s login credentials are displayed once in a pop-up window. Generally, every new instance is created as a trial instance, which can be used free of charge for up to 30 days.

Note: The process for a dedicated instance (NFR) is the same. You must first set up your company as a customer. Please let us know as soon as this has been done. Thank you.


You can find the initial administrative steps for setting up and configuring the EL mailarchive instance in this article.
