COVID-19 Update: Katalon is Making Changes for You

I confess I rarely read the Katalon Blog - perhaps I should change that. This post is a copy-paste of a recent blog post where the Katalon team are detailing the measures they are taking to keep the Katalon ship afloat.

… And pay attention toward the end – there’s an opportunity to gain free license extensions!

And remember, if you want to help scientists fighting on the front lines of this war against the coronavirus, it’s extremely easy: COVID-19 - Please Help Scientists in the WAR on Coronavirus!

Hi Katalon Team,
I have to work from home due to COVID-19 situation. I use KSE with a trial license which expires today.
I sent an email with all the needful information as described above. Two days passed, but I haven’t got a response nor a license extension.

Please advise, what else I need to do to extend trial usage of KSE.
Thanks,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

We have extended your Trial for another 30 days.
Please note that you need to reopen Katalon Studio to apply the new trial date.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for a prompt solution. Now I have a fully functional KSE again.
