Hi, Just want to confirm the following. My current test repo, because I am running it in console mode, is not going to work any longer? I started with version 5.x and sadly might need to jump off the tool due to this?

@moenieb.davids That is right. I think this will still not block test development and execution through studio. But will affect/block command line execution on the same box or remote execution via Jenkins per say.

I am basically dead then. :slight_smile: don’t mind paying, but I am now going to look like a fool at the next exco cause I had to fight off service providers and their proposed tools. :slight_smile:

Yeah seems like a lot of features have now been locked behind a paywall. I get they need to make money but I guess a heads up would have been nice.

At least I wasn’t the only one surprised by this. A notification would have been nice and a better error message.

Just think its a kind of creepy practice to do it in this way. They could have at least kept the old version free. I get they will need funding to support the tool etc, but there are better ways to get people to buy your tool and service. They proclaimed FREE ALWAYS and many people bought into it…

Ok, the Katalon Team wants big money, well, I’m not going along that path. Got stuck running cmd execution in version 7, but I will go back to an older version then. What a bummer and as mentioned earlier: unethical.

Now i am unable login with register user old versions but i am able to login(exist user) Latest version but it is paid vesion KSE 7.2.1 Version.In my current organisation not ready for paid tool( Licences Tool) in market having lot of free tools why you …

This is insane, testers started using it, thinking it will be a free tool considering basic features. But now putting license is unethical.
