titleWhere exactly does this app run ?

Jira/Confluence/Bamboo/Bitbucket/Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) has 2 components

  1. CLI Connector - This is installed on the server using UPM and  provides a specific license validation REST API.  It is accessible to CLI client via <base-url>/rest/org.swift.confluence.cli/latest/validatelicense.
  2. CLI Client - This is installed on any system (Windows, Linux, OSX) that has Java 8 or higher. The CLI client runs on this system.

CLI client can be downloaded from Downloads - CLI Clients to the local machine where actions can be run from. Please see the page What is the difference between CLI clients and Run CLI add-ons?

titleDo clients still require an instance add-on (CLI Connector) be installed ?

Yes (with some exceptions). This has not changed. The Connector add-on provides license enforcement and, in some cases, extended remote interfaces not available from the base Atlassian product.

A few clients are provided at no charge and do not require a connector. They include:

titleCan clients be purchased separately ?

No. This has not changed. Clients are available for no-charge with the purchase of one or more of server or cloud add-ons.

titleWhat does an existing Run CLI Actions add-on 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.

titleHow is it accessing Atlassian application ?

The CLI client uses request/response protocol built on REST API calls provided by Atlassian to perform remote actions against your Confluence and Jira instance.
