Yesterday, the official TeamSpeak End User License Agreement (EULA) has been updated. Besides some smaller updates, the new EULA introduces radical changes to the Non-Profit Organization (NPO) license.

A NPO is no longer allowed to host more than 5000 slots, regardless the number of virtual TeamSpeak servers or instances. Any NPO hosting more than 5000 slots is ordered to shutdown any extra servers no later than January 1st, 2007.

In addition, any commercial entity that is registering to become an Authorized TeamSpeak Host Provider (ATHP) has to pay a 10 US Dollar setup fee.

If you have any questions regarding the new EULA or the updates to the NPO licensing program, please contact TeamSpeak's official sales, licensing and billing provider Triton CI & Associates.

Update - 5 December 2006:

Triton CI & Associates has modified the EULA again. Non-commercial entities without a NPO license are now allowed to setup virtual TeamSpeak servers with more than 100 slots, but the maximum number of servers and slot counts configured must not exceed any one of the following configurations:

• 10 virtual TeamSpeak servers with 100 slots each
• 4 virtual TeamSpeak servers with 250 slots each
• 2 virtual TeamSpeak servers with 500 slots each
• 1 virtual TeamSpeak server with 1000 slots

Each of the above configurations still yields 1000 slots total. This way, large guilds or clans with more than 100 members are able to setup their own free TeamSpeak servers.
