Question

Hi,

we are making decision whether to continue using FogBugz on-demand or to switch to standalone version.

Are there any problems with standalone version? We have Windows Server 2008 64-bit, 8Gb of RAM and can install MS SQL Server 2008. Standalone version costs less money for licenses. Will there be any problems comparing to on-demand version?
Can we switch to FB8 if we buy standalone version of FB7?

There are no side-effects to switching. Licensed FogBugz will function the same way as your FogBugz On Demand website. A couple of key differences:

You'll be responsible for maintaining your FogBugz website and database (backups, upgrades, security, etc.)
You can install any plugin you'd like
You can modify the source code

You'll be eligible to upgrade to FogBugz 8 as long as you have an up-to-date maintenance contract.

Thanks for answer! Just some more questions. Will we be able to use FogBugz 8 beta? Is installation and maintaining process simple and straightforward enough? I mean does everything we need is to download installer, run it and in a few moments we have working FogBugz instance (assuming we already have SQL Server running)? And does restoring from backup requires to point to database or similar simple action? – Dmitry Lobanov Sep 10 2010 at 13:37

Are there any FogBugz standalone intallation side effects?
