We decided to drop the price for Daminion, and release multiple Daminion versions:
Daminion Free - Free (can be imported up to 15k files per one catalog)
Daminion Standard - $49 (can be imported up to 50k files per one catalog)
Daminion Pro - $99 (without limitations for number of files per catalog)

Just to clarify, with the Free and Standard versions you can only open one catalog ?

If so, is that one in total or one at a time ?

You can create and open several local catalogs simultaneously with Free and Standard versions.

No, I never test it. I only install it to have a look, and after that uninstall it again.

Excellent

.

Since we've discussed on this forum what the restrictions for the free version would end up being, it's probably worth noting that it appears that the limitation is on the number of files per database. The free version can store up to 15,000 files in each database.

Also, for anyone who has actively helped test the beta versions, you might be interested in this line:

The license pricing is certainly understandable and (IMO) reasonable. That alone is nice to see with this type of product.

Greetings!

A new Daminion v3.4 was released yesterday with a new cool feature. Now you can create multiple shared catalogs.

Previous versions of Daminion limited users to 1 shared catalog per installed Daminion Server. Although the Daminion Server allows you to import and manage millions of images and videos, it sometimes makes sense to split your digital asset library into several smaller parts, especially in an organization with many departments, where each one has its own particular digital archive. Or if for example you want to split your portfolio photo archive library from the family one.

There are several other nice improvements, like the debug mode for launching external applications with arguments, for example: the ExifTool.

For anyone that is interested, there's a 15% discount on any version for the next ~6 hours ... wish I'd known that was coming up a couple of weeks ago.

I'm running the Home Server version and it beats all the free ones I tried, (and that was quite a few).

Daminion 3.7 was released recently with a range of improvements including faster viewing of large images, easier Daminion Server administration, grouping of similar images, and additional file format support. Plus several minor bug fixes.

Hi! The new Daminion 4.0 was released last week. This update has 2 major improvements:

1. Your tag structure (taxonomy) is now protected from unwanted changes during file import.

2. You can now define relationships between files ( quickly find and view all related artwork, projects, images, etc).

Hello, everyone - I have downloaded the current version of Daminion... Does the program allow for customizable/searchable columns and tags? I want to catalog all of my digital files and my physical library of books, documents, etc. in one program. I would appreciate it someone who is knowledgeable in the program could give me some feedback.

Many thanks!!

I guess my reply is bit late, but anyway: yes, you in Daminion can customize your tags and search for more than 50 standard tags plus you can create your own user-defined tags. Daminion supports at lot of media formats, including images, vector images, documents, videos, audio, CAD, etc... All file formats can be managed withing the single interface.
