| Do clients still require an instance app (ACLI Connector) be installed? | Yes (with some exceptions). This has not changed. The ACLI Connector app provides license enforcement and, in some cases, extended remote interfaces not available from the base Atlassian product. Some clients do not require a connector app. Understanding the Appfire CLI as information on this. |
| What does an existing Run CLI Actions app customer need to do to remain properly licensed? | Nothing if they do not use clients and only use the integrated support as part of their Atlassian product. Renew your license as normal when maintenance has expired. If you want to use clients as well as the integrated capabilities, then a additional CLI license will be needed for the CLI Connector. This license change was effective in CLI version 6.x but only enforced when you upgrade your clients to 7.0 or higher. You are entitled to a discounted license (determined on your maintenance expiry date) - contact us at operations@appfire.com when needed. |
| Can clients be purchased separately? | No. This has not changed. Clients are available for no-charge with the purchase of one or more of ACLI connector apps. |
| How can I evaluate the ACLI prior to purchase? | Obtain a evaluation license for one of the server apps listed, install on server, and the download the ACLI client distribution or installers. |
| Do I have to install the server app in order to use the ACLI? | Yes (with some exception). See above. |
| Can ACLI be used to access a server that does not have the Connector app installed? | No for clients. Yes for other Run CLI Action products, however, some extended capabilities may not be available without the CLI Connector installed and licensed. Currently, there is only a handful of exceptions and an error message will indicate the limitation. |
| Is ACLI available for Atlassian Cloud? | Yes. Purchase or trial a subscription corresponding to your product and user level for either Jira or Confluence Cloud. |
| Do I need a license for a Atlassian server licensed as a developer/test system? | No. - Any Atlassian paid app automatically provides a developer license associated with your production license. Go to my.atlassian.com, expand the app, and look for a link.
- We have purposefully allowed the CLI to work with developer licensed servers where the connector is installed but may not have a license. This is to make it easier for administrators and app developers.
- Unfortunately, we are unable to provide this same support for Crucible/FishEye at this time due to limitations in determining a developer licensed server.
|
| How many client users can I have? | Unlimited. Any number of users can install clients and connect to a server. The requirement is that the server have the CLI Connector component installed and validly licensed. |
| Which server product should I choose? | Choose the product specific ACLI Connector if you want to use a client to connect to the Atlassian product. Choose the product specific Run CLI Actions app for integrated capabilities like Jira workflow actions and Confluence macros. |
Where do I find a CLI Connector on the Marketplace?
| Each of the product specific Command Line Interface (CLI) Marketplace entries represent the CLI Connector (UPM installable). There is a single CLI Client (Windows, Linux, OSX installable) distribution that includes clients for all the specific products. |
