@fuznutz04 Sadly I don't have 10 devices.

If you have nearly ten devices, it might be worth buying one or two to get the free cloud hosting. Pays for itself eventually. You only need the very cheapest of devices for it to count.

Yes, we've been using it for a little while. Maybe four months.

Yeah I just put one device on it. Looks awesome to me. I just need to migrate my devices now.

I've been thinking about migrating things so I dont' need to run my own instance.

I would assume any managed device

Yep, One less server to manage!

Anything that shows up in the list AND is active.

Ah -

There's the rub. I won't have 0 devices after 30days... ah well.

APs are UNifi only so they can't count. You have an EdgeSwitch PoE, not a Unifi?

If you have less than 10, the benefits of central management are low.

But it seems like a really weird limit from Ubiquiti.

UNMS is a dockerized setup by default. I assume they are spinning up a new container for each account.

Nothing is free, so I am curious, and have not been able to find, what they get out of this.

Either product testing (via telemetry, error reporting, etc)

OR

Perhaps the free price tag will entice people (MSPs, providers, etc) to use their product.

That's the only 2 things I can thing of right away.
