Hi!

Yes, this is intentional. From the official Sailfish X website:
Current availability: EU, Norway, Switzerland
And the Jolla Shop (where you can buy the SFOS X licences) even states:
Availability: Sailfish X is currently available in the countries of the European Union, Norway and Switzerland (“Authorized Countries”) and the use of our website and services to purchase Sailfish X outside of the Authorized Countries is prohibited.
James said the limitation results from payment issues. It may be that Jolla can't find a reliable partner for processing orders. Additionally, the whole taxes and warranty thing may be a big topic for Jolla. With the current availability (inside the EU / Schengen area), Jolla can easily and legally safe tax all sales in Finland. If they want to sell SFOS X outside of the EU area, they'll probably have quite some trouble regarding taxes and legal restrictions. I'd imagine that it's simply to much of a hassle (and not feasible from a financial point of view) to undergo the whole process (getting legal advice, meeting foreign laws etc) to just sell a few licences in that country.
I'd suspect Jolla simply hopes that it's customers are clever enough to find alternatives to purchase a SFOS licence if they live outside the EU ;)

Try to change to another DNS that is within Europe. That is what they require according to comment by James Noori here: https://blog.jolla.com/purchase-download-install-sailfish-x-now/
Or try using another device with another IP address.

Marzanna ( 2017-10-15 00:32:37 +0200 )editThinking some more about it. The statement by James Noori doesn't make sense. DNS settings shouldn't matter in my opinion. It is the IP address that matters.
johanh ( 2017-10-15 00:36:47 +0200 )editI know that I can use vpn and other things. But the question is why its Notes awailable here?
