Dual Licensing support

KIWI plugin supports both Kepler and Atlassian licenses, but you only need one valid license to run the plugin, which can either be provided as the kiwi.lic file, or as the key generated via the Atlassian Marketplace.

The order in which the licenses are checked is:

  1. Atlassian License
  2. Kepler License

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

Technical info

Starting with katl-commons version 2.5.5 a new plugin, called Warden, will be automatically installed by any paid add-on (including KIWI). 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.

Atlassian Licensing

The Atlassian Marketplace allows you to easily purchase or generate an evaluation license for KIWI.

Using Universal Plugin Manager 2.0.1+

After generating the license key, all you have to do is access the Administration-> Add-ons-> Manage add-ons section in your JIRA instance and paste the key into the corresponding plugin textbox.

Kepler Licensing

The Kepler license is a file (kiwi.lic) which must be placed in the <JIRA_HOME>/kepler folder. You can either generate and download a free evaluation license by registering on our site and accessing the Licenses section, or you can purchase the plugin by following these instructions.

You can view details for your kepler license by accessing the Kepler Licenses page from Add-ons >KEPLER PLUGINS CONFIGURATION> Kepler Licenses menu:

The page shows the expiration and maintenance date, user limit and validity message for each selected kepler license.

If the license is expired, user limit is exceeded or license is targeted for a different JIRA server id, a red colored message shows the status.

If kepler license is close to expiration date (less than 10 days remaining), a warning message is displayed, showing the remaining time.

Reminder

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

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+) , by removing the old license key and clicking Update. To remove a Kepler license, you have to delete the correspondent .lic file from the kepler folder. Note that any change to the Kepler license requires a server restart.
