Hi @dhamini.sugendran ,

The message says what it means :wink: For now, you would need a license to be able to use custom keywords.

BUT: From what I could read in the forum here Question about missing functionality since 9.x.x - #5 by philipB this feature should be coming back for free in the upcoming new 10.0.0, due for release shortly. So perhaps stay tuned for that version ?

Thank you!
Does this link have the setup for beta version?

For this, you just download the correct file for your operating system and unzip it wherever you want to use it. (Somewhere with read/write/execute permissions)

What is your KS version?
you can use Custom keyword like advances feature in KS V8.2.5 without any message with free version

8

you can use downgraded ks if you can’t upgrade

You can still create groovy / java class inside Folder Include->scripts->groovy->yourpackagename for your CustomKeywords, but you have to change the way you called the methods/functions.

instead of using CustomKeywords.‘package.yourclass.yourfunction()’, you can replace it by :

import yourpackage.YourClass

//calling in static way
YourClass.yourFunction()

//calling in non static way
YourClass yourClass = new YourClass()
yourclass.yourFunction()

this is my suggestion when you want use the free version with Katalon Studio 9.x.x

i also suggest you to use Katalon Studio 8.6.9 version to get CustomKeywords run as usual and can writing code at Keywords folder
