This license only applies to the version of the Software you have downloaded and not any future versions. If Katalon provides an updated version of the Software, you may select either to accept the new version by installing the new version and agreeing to the license agreement that accompanies it, or to decline the new version. However, the old version of the Software will no longer work once the new version has been made available, and you acknowledge and agree that Katalon may deactivate the old version at that time.
They will eventually remove free version because they don’t have enough resources to maintain two different versions. Next time when I see “free” selenium framework with closed source with enterprise support I will just remember Katalon Studio and stick with my own open source framework design.
Free version was used as bait for enterprise and for good marketing. BTW, nice modus operandi@Katalon_team
Oxygen is totally free and its source code is going to be released in GitHub in the next few weeks.
Sure, is opensource. But the code is not available.
So, what kind of opensource is that? Are you guys serious? Or is just your ‘modus operandi’ to promote a toy?
Now seriously, I think won’t be fair to discuss here about other toys available, but one can open a topic with alternatives in the “general” section and we can post there what other tools we know, with pro/cons, impressions etc.
@Russ_Thomas let’s grab the recent topics on such ‘alternate’ solutions and open a topic for it.
i will do it myself but i am not that ‘skilled’ as you are in topics splitting.
and once we have that topic we can come with a lot of knowlwdge sharing there.
it can be in the lounge too, not to offend the katalon team, which in my opinion still do a great job, despite the pro/cons and the rumors on the monetizing plan.
i can share a lot of ideas there …
so let’s do it as an experiment in to the lounge … and let’s try to keep the disrinction between frustration and spam.
if the experiment will fail … delete everything …
it can be a nice discussion on what katalon have and what does not have, compared with other available solutions.
my proposal is to move the frustration level to a honest debate,based on each-other experience.
Well, yes, the thread is meandering. But I’ve done all I can with regard to the license changes for v7. It’s now up to the Katalon Team to step up and clarify.
In other words, the thread stays for now. The conjecture posed here is a result of the licensing confusion.
Hi Guys…
Right now i am using Katalon 6.3.3 and integrated with Jenkins. I see a message ‘Katalon Studio 6 will sunset on April 30, 2020’ when i open katalon recently. Does this mean i cannot run test suites or collections after April 30, 2020 (manually or via command line or via jenkins).
Please clarify…
As I understand it, you will still be able to use your 6.3.3 version (command line or otherwise) on that same machine indefinitely, however:
1.) You will not be able to re-activate it at any time. So if that install goes away for whatever reason, you’ll be out of luck.
2.) Obviously, the 6.3.3 version will not receive any updates into the future, so if any issues arise, you will have to work around them. This also means that it will be up to you to manage driver versions yourself.
