Dual Licensing support

Versions 2.0.4 and up support both Kepler User Group Picker PRO™ app supports both Cprime and Atlassian licenses, but you only need one valid license to run the plugin, which can either app that either can be provided as the the usergrouppicker-pro.lic file, or as the key generated via the the Atlassian Marketplace.

The order in which the licenses are checked is following:

  1. Atlassian LicenselicenseKepler License
  2. Cprime license

It is is strongly recommended that  that you do not install both licenses at once, as this might yield unwanted results. For example, consider that you have an Atlassian License license with the support date expired and one valid Kepler LicenseCprime license. In this case you cannot update the pluginapp, because the Atlassian License license is checked first and its support date is expired.

Using an older version of the Universal Plugin Manager

If you are using an older version of the Universal Plugin Manager, we provide a custom page in Kepler General Parameters -> Licensing where you can install the Atlassian License. After installing the plugin, you have a 30 minute grace period to access the Licensing page and enter a valid license. If, however, after 30 minutes you do not have a valid license (Kepler or Atlassian) the plugin will disable itself.

Don't forget that you need only one valid license to run the pluginapp.

Starting with katl-commons version 2.5.5 an new plugin, called Warden, will be automatically installed by any paid add-on (including User Group Picker PRO 1.0). This plugin is responsible with the management of licenses (both JIRA and Kepler). Do not attempt to uninstall it without removing first all the Kepler paid add-ons

Removing an unused license

If you want to remove a no longer used Atlassian license, this can be done in UPM (for UPM 2.0.1+) or in our Licensing section, by removing the old license key and clicking Update. To remove a Cprime license, you have to delete the correspondent .lic file from the kepler folder. Note that any change to the Cprime license requires a server restart.
