Can I use OpenSUSE on an bussiness enviroment?

English Open Chat
#1

The basic question is if can I use OpenSUSE as a desktop OS in a business environment? I don’t know if the Licence permits to use it for a company (as main Desktop OS)
The thing is that I want to migrate my small business to an Open Source OS but I don’t know if OpenSUSE allows me to do that without pay any licence
(Sorry for the bad english)

Thanks for you time! :good:

Hi
For sure you can use it, I’m sure there are lots that do :slight_smile:
openSUSE:License - openSUSE

If you wish to customize it, then have a read here;
openSUSE:Trademark guidelines - openSUSE

Thanks for your help! I’ll give a try to OpenSUSE on my small network and I’ll tell you how works

Cheers!

Good luck! :slight_smile:

Not only can you use it for business, but there are a surprizing number of business apps available some free, some paid .

#7

Ok, thanks!
I’m trying Open Suse at the moment and seems to fit the needs! I just have some problems with a propietary software wich is for make phone calls over a VoIP server, I’m trying to make it work under wine but no luck till now, I’ve problems with the sound under Wine because this software needs a windows service running and the specific name of the audio card in a .txt file… So I’m fighting with that at this moment…

#8

try out these:
Linux Online - VoIP Howto
Linux - voip-info.org
or google ‘linux voip’ for many more sources that won’t need wine

#9

I’ll take a look!
I’m thinking in change the software but I can’t do it at the moment. It’s a software that they developed a couple years ago so would be right to change it for a new one! the software has its own dll files and services to conect to the software on the SIP Server, wich is also a software property of this company, I’ll think on all the posible options!

Thanks for your time! :wink:
