You can try v9.0.x

This is new enough so that you wouldn’t see the error “you are using a legacy version …”.

The v9.0.x provides the Keywords for the Free version users. The v9.1.x and newer one will ask you to obtain an Enterprise license to use Keywords.

A significant shortage of v9.0.x is it misses Appium 2.0 support which was included in v9.1.0.

hiii Kazurayam…

im using katalon version 9.7.0 actually…
let me install katalon that you shared above yaa…

thank you


still shown error “you are using a legacy version …”.

I personally use v9.0.0 Free and I don’t see the message.

Can’t you just ignore the message and force to sign in?

no, i cant force to sign in…
i asked to upgrade to the latest version, which is the enterprise but face issue number 2…

I have no more idea. I do not really understand the way how Katalon controls licenses.

Hey are you an Enterpirse/Trial or Free user?

Pls go for Katalon Studio Enterpirse edition if you’re Enterprise/Trial user and Katalon Studio Free if you’re Free one.

hiii Shin…
im free user. and im using Katalon Studio Free, but still face issue number 2, which is Keyword is not shown. is this expected ?
im using katalon studio free version 9.7.0…

@rosdiana.sitinjak : You should be having an enterprise KS license to be able to work with Custom keywords.

Check your Katalon version by going to Help → About , if its not enterprise like below , then you cant use keywords

You have 9.7.0, but I have v9.0.0 Free.

With v9.0.0 I can use Keywords. See the following evidence.

I checked the Release Note v9.1.0

Features related to custom keywords are now exclusively available for Enterprise users.

So the Keyword is (was) available in v9.0.x

you may want to upgrade to version 10.0 cause Custom keyword is back :wink:
